Then the rains came down to soak us.
Now before the mind can focus —
Crocus."

Carol,
An article about the poem's writer will appear here sometime in the future. Apparently this is her "most famous" poem. J Re: Re: Re: Poem: "First the howling winds awoke us" by Lilja Rogers

Thanks Carol. Right now I'm having a difficult time locating a photograph of her (usually I like to include one). When completed, her story won't be posted until at least after August 25th , since my I've pre-posted articles up until then.

Janice, my morning walk is through the cemetery where she is buried. I will place a flower on her grave today and let her know she is not forgotten.

Amy!
That is just so sweet of you to do that. The link in the original story will take folks to your article showing her unusual tombstone. Janice Re: Re: Re: Poem: "First the howling winds awoke us" by Lilja Rogers
