Winterberries

In our seasons of darkness, when snow lays deep upon the land and winds blow cold, winterberries are a gift of hope. Coated in heavy ice, the bright red orbs shine as sparkling memories on the bare  twisted stalk of age. These poems are reflections on the season and on life. They remind us to have faith, that the light is not gone; it lies within us.

Melinda’s poems can also be found in various anthologies by Skinner House Books, Boston and Berkley Books, New York.
