“PICTURE POSE” Hello pretty lady, That I see in that photo. Is that fairy dust in your hair, Or might it be the falling snow. Then perhaps I was mistaken, And it wasn’t either one of those. But it was just the sparkling light, Radiating from you, in elegant repose. It’s a gracious smile that you show, Accented by those sensuous ruby red lips. If I could just reach out and touch them, You would feel my soft gentle fingertips. Your long dark hair flows down your back, And soft blue eyes, set in that beautiful face. All of the above makes for a charming pose, For someone that shows so very much grace. I looked up into the heavens, Not knowing what I might see. I searched and searched all over, Waiting for a sign that could be. Then I saw a star fall out of the sky, And I followed it, as it came down. “Where was it going?” I asked, As I watched it hit the ground. And then all of a sudden it came to me, When I looked again at that picture pose. You’re so much prettier than that streaking star, Because you’re more attractive, than a flowering red rose. So, now I sit here and I daydream, About how pretty you really are. And just maybe, that one of these days, I’ll come by and visit, if you let me come that far. Bill Charles |

Bill! Bill! My hair isn't dark, it's red as you can see - it doesn't flow down my back or reach down to my knees. My eyes are not cornflower blue but plain old common brown, so I must deduce I'm not the one creating words so profound! So I'll just sulk - what the hell in this area I do excel! Lovely poem, just teasing ya! Corinne |

Good morning "dd", Nice to see you once again, and I thank you for your kind comments. Mystical huh, h'mmmm. Good morning Corinne, Well I don't know what to say, except that you have given me some inspiration to ponder when I begin a new writing. Thank you for stopping, and thank you for your kind words. |

Another great poem, I also liked your one about the mermaid "A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become porcelain." --Mildred W. St |

I am not the gentle lady in the picture that you drew but should you write those words to me then you would have a clue as to how to speak and such and ultimately know you've touched a heart that thought indeed to be hidden now love comes softly in words you've written. Yea, Bill! |
