Untamed Minutes The sun is slanted now and threads stitch it to tall buildings. Far, a crow sits wire and scans the ground for acorns. The rain sent crinkled leaves into the lane where a baby just learning to walk purposely places a bare foot onto the soggy of it and looks down with interest. The cold comes fast to dusk and her sweater is green, like eyes that warm a room. She has bloomed beautiful with the watching of this child’s wonder, who sits on the pile and picks up a golden fold of time. The sun takes root in the darkening hills and grows magenta clouds behind the palm trees. |

This was interesting. I normally don't like poetry of this style, but this created a clear image of sight and touch. It made me think of a really great still life painting. Great way to catch the moment. Groovy |

This is almost overwhelming in its beauty, Martie. It is certainly a keeper! May I? May I share with a few e-mail friends? Your name would definitely remain with it!!!!! As always!!!!! I am in awe. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
