So many a winter friendship
save but a few
thaw with the sparkle of spring.

Only a few words but appealing and deep. I interpret as many firndships fade with the changing of the seasons or indeed as people change over time.

That indeed is what the basic message was. Thank you kindly.

I got 'forgiveness' from this. Nice write.

[Red Brick Keshner]

Ah, perfectly acceptable. As I was writing this, the general feel was that of parting & fleeting or flitting (whichever is more appropriate to the particular situation); but as the micropoem was near completion the possibilities of reconciliation and a sense of increase & strengthening began arising. Thus, forgiveness is an excellent take. And I am much appreciative of your letting me know & leaving word of your journey with my poem/s. Thank you, kindly. :-)

An aphorism. Enigmatic at that... : maybe my mind is over reaching, but I'm not sure how this interprets. Still, it piques my interest and does that funny thing to my brain that koans do, or illogical playthings.

I like this thing of yours, Frederick. It's pretty, and glitters, but evades so sweetly, too.
I'm not sure why, but well done. Ok?

Thanks Jay! I'm glad you journeyed with this articulation. It can be interpreted both ways, because of the concept of 'thawing:' as if some friendships thrive because of the wintering effects or the other way around, broken by the harshness of adversities. You are much appreciated :-)
