A rain crow cries freely in archaic tongue Run home through highest grass and Queen’s Lace rampant at the knee Don’t fall into the ever-glow beyond big skies, big eyes, pollinated with higher thoughts Though you’ve always noticed how red poppies grow, how extraordinary eves of summer point in fair direction It’s taboo, to see through misery It’s disenchanting to most who never want to feel naked in a storm They never want to realize beauty lies, somewhere between a clap of thunder and clover; sweet trampled luck, struck once and never again But only if you let judgement discern your path and forget what yellow really feels like Long for more, yet don’t quarry the fields Don’t pick the animals from the clouds Be swift, quiet and gentle as you carry a dreamer’s weightless step Say nothing of the fertile secrets you hold to your breast Rush to water Spider’s Plant inside, where the webs are safe and happiness is a foreign language across glass |

They never want to realize beauty lies, somewhere between a clap of thunder and clover; sweet trampled luck, struck once and never again So nice to read you again... thank you for sharing...  |

It’s taboo, to see through misery It’s disenchanting to most who never want to feel naked in a storm your words were always so beautifully scribed. Nice to read you again. *s M It has rained so often here I haven't been able to enjoy the blooming of my gardens~ |

R, Ha! There are favorable vibrations about! Only yesterday I was thinking how much I missed Regina's work and was wondering what had happened to her. And here you are! And there is no doubt. Wonderful! So glad to see you again. e |

Reg, It has become a part of my routine to miss you...but then you knew that. I'm so excited to see you back. You are staying, right? ============================== Though you’ve always noticed how red poppies grow, how extraordinary eves of summer point in fair direction It’s taboo, to see through misery It’s disenchanting to most who never want to feel naked in a storm They never want to realize beauty lies, somewhere between a clap of thunder and clover; sweet trampled luck, struck once and never again ======================= Your writing always takes me places I have rarely been. But this part sounds like my year just past.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I love the way you immerse yourself into the smell and feel of nature, the intimate observations of a true artist. It's so good to have a poetic offering from you, Regina. You have been missed. |

Sunshine: Your warmth is always welcoming. Big hugs sweet lady. C: Thanks for the inspiration my friend. nakedthoughts: I appreciate you for being here. May the clouds part and blooms spill over. Thanks for your kind words. Helen: Big smiles and thanks Marge: Your huglets are so great. gemjop: I will really try...and thank you very much. Nancy: Have missed your smiling words. Big hugs. Seymour: I have missed your super sonnets.  Martie: Back at ya poetess. Hugs and admirations to you. Krawdad: Good vibrations, indeed..or soul mojo..hehe. Your thoughts mean a lot to me. Larry: Missing you too. Huge hugs and hope to stay as long as I can, but never far, regardless. Dixie: You've been a constant inspiration. Thanks for your support and Southern grace. Midnightsun: So good to hear from you too. It's great to be near you all. Many hugs. Serenity: Have been around the world in my head~giggle. Thankfully, it didn't fall off. So glad to hear from you. Will explain below. James: Soft hugs C: These pages hold so much more than simple warmth, yet how could I expect anything less....you all are so embracing. I'll always be near the spirit of poets. Note to Passions: Hey everyone. Have been in a tizzy of new beginnings. My new year started out with a bang. I walked away from my job and grasped hold of my life. It wasn't as easy as it sounds. The unknown is a scary place, but with tons of support, my spirit has wings again and my life is full with family and all that inspires me. I also start college in the fall and really look forward to it....hope they like picking old bones. Anyhow, I couldn't post or reply as I wanted to and felt I lacked connectivity you all exude here....so I stepped away for a bit, and will try to intermingle again with sincere offerings of poetry and friendship. I may seem less involved...especially around exam time. But this place will always be where it all started. I've missed every poet and every word. Peace and poetry, Love, Reg |
