A white bud swelling
with things that I cannot say;
perhaps it will burst.

I believe poetic brilliance is the ability to speak volumes, in very few words. I also believe you are a master of this technique...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~

And we watch... anticipating even more beauty. *S*

You are indeed a master of words, my friend... you've perfectly combined vivid images and powerful emotions... in far fewer words than I can even use saying I love it! *G*

Thank you all....it touches me to have touched you with this little poem.

...and Suthern, don't be silly -- your haiku's are fine, like the rest of your stuff! Bring more of 'em into this here neighborhood, eh?

ROFL... at the risk of sending property values plummeting... *G*

fulfilling promise
a bud opens in silence
each petal one thought

Okeydokey. *dusting hands* Back to being wordy again! *G*

Ed - this is brilliant
it reminded me of being stifled

dying to scream
