she grows us green and like tender buds of spring keeping up the good search she allows us to grow encouragement and watering showing and showering having a whistle type of day so delicious the scents she cultivates… in pausing to think sometimes she is Eliza Doolittle to me for I hear of flowers and flower keepers I've seen us both hold the key knowing she is a giver of flowers then Martie comes to mind with a bit of an accent but oh so much wiser even when running on empty and she paints a moment like no one I know… O… her poetry holds court the good poets that are here all revere our Martie gently knocking, knocking on blue she keeps us rocking, rocking anew gently kicks us forward, takes us to our knees all I ask for, Martie, are some more words, please… string them, sing them make them rhyme show me distant feel the time walk with us and talk with us on a ride with such a view I haven't all the words yet but some words do come to mind if I were to compare us I'd find me on the other side of her mirror knocking to get out… if I compare us…I don't for we're deeper than you think we're a chance meeting for you to see the signs we're a harmony unknown in the words we sing we're a chance meeting for the gifts we bring but to always breathe her words walk her mind be the song in her throat oh, she grows me green but jealousy has no place here no…she grows me green as a bud watering me allowing me to grow and shine so I am watchful and waitful and grateful in anticipating Martie… 01.17.01 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 01-17-2001).] |

Sunshine--A Lovely tribute to a very sweet poet. Wonderfully written. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

Karilea~ And ... anticipatory I am. Just a lovely offering of thought from one terrific poet - honoring another. Remarkable talent abounds in the forum ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I rarely finish a night of reading without making one of Martie's my final read because her rare talent to making all of life seem so beautiful even in the darkest of times ALWAYS brings me inspiration and peace but tonight I believe I shall finish with this one because it is written in the grace and the mastery of her boundless talents. Excellent write and one that is so very much deserved by one of our true "Legends to be". |

WOW! What a stunning tribute to one of the most revered writers and certainly the most uniquely talented writer on passions, one whose mind does't stop to think, it already knows what others cannot see, she conjures up a notion that no one would ever concieve of and inserts it so naturally into a verse and it simply astounds you. It is a rare talent and you, Karilea have whitten a superb tribute which captures her essence. Thank you for writing this. It is so well deserved, I bow to both of you, two wonderful poet friends, LOve you both Liz |

then Martie comes to mind with a bit of an accent but oh so much wiser even when running on empty and she paints a moment like no one I know… O… her poetry holds court the good poets that are here all revere our Martie gently knocking, knocking on blue she keeps us rocking, rocking anew gently kicks us forward, takes us to our knees all I ask for, Martie, are some more words, please… string them, sing them make them rhyme show me distant feel the time walk with us and talk with us on a ride with such a view ============= thank you Sun, for saying so eloquently what so many of us feel ... she is a gift of poetry ... to poetry ...and us she defines what it is to be a writer. very cool poem and format here K, very cool gesture and tribute When to the sessions of sweet silent thought, I summon up remembrance of things past ... I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought. ~Shakespeare~ |
