 Moon Mother ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ I awoke in mid of a winter’s night, When all was silent and still. And sat upon my window bench, Which lay beneath moonlit sill. Shutters of cedar were opened wide, Luna’s light came streaming thru’. ~ Bathing me in her radiance, As I beheld the placid view. Filigreed ice did shimmer in trees, Deep snow was shrouding the ground. The night was one of tranquility, With nary a soul around. As I opened myself to the Universe, My spirit was singing in tune. ~ With God and all His Creations, In the Light of our Mother, the Moon. “We are borne of star dust, and to the stars we shall one day return.” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

Earth Angel You know I'm a chocoholic and when I read you it's like eating the cake "Death by chocolate." You are just elegance personified.  |

Linda, Firstly, this poetry was a thing of immense beauty, it's style, ease of flow, choice of words were a tapestry of moonlight in a twinkling night sky. .................................... As I opened myself to the Universe, My spirit was singing in tune. ~ With God and all His Creations, In the Light of our Mother, the Moon. .................................... But this Linda, is where your spirituality bleeds from your pen.... Ivor |

If it's the snow, the sun or the moon your poetry can make the reader wish they where there in the moment |

Filigreed ice did shimmer in trees, Deep snow was shrouding the ground. The night was one of tranquility, With nary a soul around. this was like a brothel with nature, dynamic insights and linkages to a marvelous vision of the world and nature...and knowing you as I do, I would say, this harmonic epicenter is whimsically knocking at your door every day... I envy your adventures, and respect your substance... Love ya Lady |

Good morning, Mr. T.! Dems sweet werds, T-Man! ~ literally and figuratively!  Would you believe that I am nibbling on a piece of chocolate! Yeppers! I saw a program on benefits of the almighty cocoa bean so I bought a chocolate bar! Mind you, it's not the creamy milk chocolate that is so deliciously decadent. This one is made of dark chocolate (lots of antioxidants) and without sugar. ~ But it's good for me! Giving you a chocolate kiss to start your day! X EA |

Mysterious One ~ Hi, Sharon! I would give credit to the artist, but there wasn't a name to go with it! Mind you, I have cropped away most of the graphic and edited out the racoon under her chin. Thank you for the enthusiastic response! Seize the day! Linda |
