Landscape

The frozen swirls
may want to speak.

Of clouds, perhaps,
they've been in.

Of drifting clouds
they traveled with,

the lands they
overflew,

the continents.
Tell that to

the tips
of a pair of shoes,

tell it
to frozen grass.

I agree that the rhythm makes a wonderful frame for the images, shifting them subtly from one to the next. I would love for you to read my take on the art prompt. It is day 6 at http://tasmith1122.wordpress.com/. Please feel free to offer comment and/or suggestions when you visit.
