The Warming of a Poet decades have come and gone since the first warming and now, to take chills off of the time past I visit the deck, ‘neath shade of awning, a chair comfortably accepting me, to review my shadowed thoughts alone, on break of summer’s gleam, as his words sit gently by way of his book, the spine resting in the crevice of my thighs, he taught me of searching north, and south and when he looked north, then he caught the curve and carve of the red woulds and found himself at the ivory columns of welcome so entered there, to a fountain of youth in remembrance visions of what was then brings back that first long ago flush and my temperature rises slightly with the noon his tutelage was kind and slow good and southerly he traveled abroad but always took me with him, he traveled light sun meets my face as the awning is pushed about by the winds of time and which then, warms which… he holds me east to west encompassing me surpassing boundaries navigates the equator, we talk of circumference and gulf streams actions which speak louder than any word he ever wrote my eyes, closed wide open in memories of what is to come, then should I ever warm a poet in kind Write with grace, all others lose face; "Jo was very tall, thin, ... and reminded one of a colt..."

If I were ever in that position, I would most definitely look to the north...and travel in that direction, wherever the terrain might take me.... Naughtiness aside for a nanosecond, I think it's safe to say that you've warmed many a poet, books or no. |

he holds me east to west encompassing me surpassing boundaries navigates the equator, we talk of circumference and gulf streams actions which speak louder than any word he ever wrote my eyes, closed wide open in memories of what is to come, then should I ever warm a poet in kind Yes, Lady...you certainly do. |

If you do...hold on to your heartstrings. The word "warn" comes to mind. Nothing ventured nothing gained though, or that's what they say. Depends on whether your heart is ready. Love, Terri~  |
