A woman watches the west for words as the wind wipes them from her mouth and plants them with the haste of winter into the blowing grasses of a meadow Singing to the yellow profusion green weeds dare to whisper about spring (they have rooted in the pouring rain and understand mud and time) Meanwhile a random feather is caught in the fray and drifting like a kite in early March slowly slides the invisible air like a lover's silk-lined gown down into the print left by the woman's boot as she watches the west for words [This message has been edited by Sunshine (02-09-2010 07:22 PM).] |

A woman watches the west for words as the wind wipes them from her mouth my mind catches on this alliteration Martie and this: (they have rooted in the pouring rain and understand mud and time) stands me still, bids me listen carefully |

This makes me miss home... but my window faces west... and my horizon is filled with feathers.   |

Martie, Your poem is absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful mind you have, bright and sensitive. The imagery you convey, the mood, the element of time... I am in awe. Hugs, misce' |

So beautiful Martie, oh how you've been missed. How easy it would be to face east all these days, waiting for words like these. Happy Valentines Day dear friend. Richard  |

... But how could this article have been written by Martie yet edited by Sunshine? What a dumb question! J Hey, nobody's human! |

fine 'write' ... grand imagery! ... I am especially fond of: "green weeds dare to whisper about spring (they have rooted in the pouring rain and understand mud and time)" much sustained applause for this 'penning'! |
