I know the hills and gullys of your body the curves the turns. I have total recall of you and Stanyan Street because I know it will be important later ~Rod McKuen - Stanyan Street & Other Sorrows buckskin colored coffee you call it I sip from my fern covered starbucks cup you drink black morning from white bone china leftover pink roses white is the absence of all color amazing how we can see the absence of something the book is blue and green yellow older than thoughts of us yet there it is a memory gift pages shuffling restless to be seen I lie on my belly read to me you say resting your hot bone china in the small of my back cool breath on my heartbeat read to me of stanyan street again read to me of the hills and gullys for we both know it will be important later [This message has been edited by The Lady (01-23-2007 03:13 PM).] |

You portray these scenarios so vividly that I can seen them as movie scenes in my mind's eye. Actually Lady Kate, I'd love to see movies based on your poetry! Sending you a big hug o' love, Linda |

I've noticed that your poems lately have had "the michael poems" included in the titles. What exactly does that mean? Are you working on a poetry book? That'd be great. I'm just curious I suppose. Cheers Head Cheese & Chicken Feet |
