Lily Talks to Air Lily talks to air sultry like jasmine in summer piano out an open window where the door is closed don’t touch the handle of such truth for it is not something that you open a secret lover’s touch it is something that was always there Listen to the water just a sprinkler then go past that place of dense leaf joy beyond the sound of scratching dog and mocking bird’s declarations past the screen in the door as it stops making patterns on the opening Close your eyes then and breathe slow the up sky and down dirt open the magic listen Lily talks to air |

Listen to the water just a sprinkler then go past that place of dense leaf joy beyond the sound of scratching dog and mocking bird’s declarations past the screen in the door as it stops making patterns on the opening Martie, Martie... always a pleasure to read..always an treasure to enjoy.. |

Lily talks to air sultry like jasmine in summer piano out an open window ---------------------- Listen to the water just a sprinkler then go past that place of dense leaf joy beyond the sound of scratching dog and mocking bird’s declarations past the screen in the door as it stops making patterns on the opening ======================= Do you truly know how cool, how rare, this poem is? How unique and full of light it is? May I borrow a few of your words to make my point (because once again, your poetry takes me words away) Close your eyes then and breathe slow the up sky and down dirt open the magic listen Martie takes to the air   Darkness cannot drive out darkness ... only light can do that. |

About that book... I want mine inscribed, please. *S* And if you could only include lessons in how to write like this, I'd scrub your kitchen floors for the next 5 years! |

 (smiles) Oh Martie, this is beautiful, sweet friend, this made me think so much of the beautiful dream girl I see in my dreams and how I long for that secret touch carried by the nightingale can speak to me! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, your words are always like a sonata performed by white gloves in the garden, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Martie, I've missed the way you commune with the world around you. This is lovely. Softly penned, a whisper of nature. |

Martie - I always make sure all my senses are ready to go when I read your poetry because your words touch them in so many ways - what a great poem and how wonderful it is to read and listen and experience with you - Paul |

I'd have to second all the comments made before me. This is truly awesome, an experience for the mind and senses. You are a master of free verse and imagery...makes me proud to have known you as a poet for so long < img src="http://kit.netpoets.net/kit-hootowl.gif"> |

You had me listening, hearing, and looking. Yes, you are amazing. Your poetry is not only beautiful, but also so sweet and calming.......peaceful. Dear Lady, thank you for being you, Hugs Ethel |
