Kansas Sighs Not until the cottonwood Carries green again Not until the winds from south Care to bare again Not until the storms have rent Totality’s aftermath That Kansas sighs are heard full song A low moan less its wrath ~*~ come to greet this dawn again give tilt to this full day watch the heat come seek the sky and bubble up what may come nightfall the storms appear in gold and gray and blast and one knows the hand of God shall never quit its task ~*~ Not until the cottonwood Carries green again Not until the winds from south Care to bare again Not until the storms have rent Totality’s aftermath That Kansas sighs are heard full song A low moan less its wrath |

Last night's storms have ridden away The meadowlark woke to blue skies and Sunshine through the cottonwoods |

Good Morning, Sunshine. And it's a quiet morning after a stormy night in Kansas. Your poem says it beautifully. Shenachie |

"Not until the cottonwood Carries green again Not until the winds from south Care to bare again Not until the storms have rent Totality’s aftermath That Kansas sighs are heard full song A low moan less its wrath"   (smiles) Awwwwwww, this is such a serene and pleasant poem, sweet friend, I too love the cottonwoods so much and when they bloom, I am always admired by their beautiful hues of snow! (sigh) May the sunflowers always greet you each morning with sunshine and sighs across the prairie, sweet friend, this is lovely, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Just wonderful Sunshine...I can hear the thunder...and smell the rains. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Kari, this is splendiferous so picturesque. I have one small query in this verse. Not until the winds from south Care to bare again Should it be care to "bear" again. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Auntie Kari You know I love this, but then yes like mum I’m a little biased. Not because I love you, but because I know really good writing when I see it, and this is it. Well written I love it, and yes the words are beautiful, as is the presentation. This is stunning and something very special. The way this follows the line is exquisite   Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
