Sound of rushing sea outside window breeze of calm floats dreams to my sleep. It's a lovely senryu earthy angel.  [This message has been edited by WhiteRose (11-10-2002 12:02 AM).] |

The ebb tickles feet Like little kittens soft bites Licking bubble toes  (smiles) Awwwwwwwww, I love this so much, sweet friend, I miss the ocean so much and dream to move right by there where its warmer and just lay back and hear mariachi music! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Linda, you just put me right there, on the beach. This is one of your best. Love it.

Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Vicky ~ The sounds of the lake lapping at the shore really do lull me to slumber. Even just thinking about it has a soporific effect on me......zzz...zz...z...tehe ********************************************* Marti ~ Merci! I actually feel like having a nap right now and that is not something that I do, alth' it would be a very healthy thing for us to do! ********************************************* Noah ~ For someone who is as masterful at writing lengthy and powerfully descriptive and ornate writing as yourself, you are most certainly adept at writing these short Japanese poems as well! ********************************************* ~ May your all your lives go with the ebb and flow of the Great Sea of Life Linda |

Pat ~ I love the sounds of the ocean waves beating against a rugged shore line, but I find that more invigorating. The lapping of lake water lulls me to slumber.... ~ knowing, warm smiles to you Linda |

Yes, I know that feeling well. Rain also does this for me. The stars will shine when I am gone, |

Auguste ~ Ah, yes...listening to the rhythm of the rain, falls me to sleep....... ********************************************* Melissa ~ Hi! Hope all has been going well for you! You can add me to the list of falling rain lovers. The comforting cadence sends me off to dreamland as well. ********************************************* ~ Sleep well, dear poet friends EA ~ |

Linda, one of my favorite places in all the world is walking along the beach at night when most people are gone home. On a calm night, the waters of the Gulf Of Mexico very gently cause the waves to lap upon the shore. These are very peaceful to listen to, especially hand in hand with Gary. I also like the sounds of rain on the housetop, but not as much as the waves. "Love makes the world go around" |
