I'm hypnotized by your picture, Bill.
Very nice.

And, the last lines really got me.

Yo Bill,

This is an interesting picture.  It reminds me of the hot house in Longwood Gardens.

The poem is also very impressive.  I like it a lot.

Stunning!  Where was the picture taken?  I recently traveled to Cancun and this photo reminded me of its exotic appeal.

I love the analogy between your picture, and your words. I feel on fire when Im in nature, and it is natural to feel on fire with love. I wish we can critique your work, more than the imagery. But as we know a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Chalmette Guy - I find the picture very beautiful, and glad I could write a few words to it...

Artic Wind - appreciate your words...

Bobby - glad you like this writing...

jwesley - thank you for coming by and leaving a beautiful comment...

OwlSA - the picture caught me the first second I saw it, and knew I had to write to it. I asked to not delete my masterpiece 'wef'...

Clang - I'm not sure where the picture was taken, probably Costa Rica. I'll find out this coming April when I visit there...

alphapendragon - I feel the same way with nature, but being on fire with loving someone is something else. I appreciate the words you say about my work...

Oklahoma Rose - your heart is showing again, thank you for sending some of it my way in your comments...

This holds such deep emotions, dear Bill. It is delicately sensuous and the luscious flowers combine with your feelings so very beautifully.

Love,

Bill this is beautiful.  The title caught my eye, as I've been playing around with similar themes in my head (fire, burning, etc).  The picture is gorgeous and reminds me of my honeymoon to Costa Rica.

Bill, the garden in your own heart defies the beauty of even that of orchids.

The entire post is absolutely enchanting!

Love to you, my dear romantic friend!

Hello Bill, What an arresting title. I remember you, dear poet, and remember also what a tender, romantic bent your work nearly always contained--I see you are still here cooking with gas. This is pretty...poignant. A pleasurable encounter this stormy morning here in Louisville. Makes me want to go walking in the rain.

Margherita - indeed the emotions run deep, and they are with sensuality. Always look forward to your comments...

Tara Simms Hall - the thoughts of fire, burning, etc can make for a most senuous writing. I'm planning on going to Costa Rica in April. How did you like it there...

Linda - and love to you, my precious friend. Your words are always touching to me...

LindsayP - it makes me smile that you came by and read this writing. I tried to save Wef, but I'm thinking of reposting it shortly...

lunaticfringe - yes, I'm still here writing and loving it. I love walks in the rain. I do remember you, quite a new name you have...

vanada - always appreciate you stopping by for a read...

Unboundpoetress - lovely way of expressing your feelings when reading this writing...

Costa Rica is absolutely beautiful and enchanting!  Punta Leone is gorgeous.  Look out for scorpions (shake out all clothes and shoes before dressing, check your towels before drying off, etc).  The pinto gallo (popular breakfast dish) is delicious!
