i didn't get the point of the poem, really, except for the end. then again i'm multitasking the the maximum.... but i loved all your references to color, which relate so well to nature, hiking, etc. it all ties in. all in all - beautiful imagery. and the ending...wow. great. it made you think =]

my favorite reference to color:

glistening flame-tangerine shriek


you know what i realize? you must HATE critiques. you NEVER get anything useful from us.

Meh... I never knew somebody who could describe a winter hike such as this as to make me want to take one.

Although I probabaly wouldn't take cheese on my hikes, I liked this poem all the same.

Every poet needs reaffirmation, sometimes. :)
