Anticipating Martie

she grows us green
and like tender buds of spring
                                                keeping up the good search
she allows us to grow
encouragement and watering
showing and showering
                                               having a whistle type of day
so delicious
the scents she cultivates…
                                             in pausing to think

sometimes she is
Eliza Doolittle to me
for I hear of flowers
and flower keepers
                                            I've seen us both hold the key
knowing
she is a giver of flowers

then Martie comes to mind
with a bit of an accent
but oh so much wiser
                                            even when running on empty
and she paints
a moment like no one
I know… O…
                                                her poetry holds court
the good poets that are
here
all revere
our Martie

gently knocking, knocking
on blue
she keeps us rocking, rocking
anew
gently kicks us forward,
takes us to our knees
all I ask for, Martie,
are some more words, please…

string them, sing them
make them rhyme
show me distant
feel the time
walk with us and talk with us
on a ride with such a view

I haven’t all the words yet
but some words do come to mind
if I were to compare us
I’d find me on the other side of her mirror
knocking to get out…

if I compare us…I don’t

                    for we’re deeper than you think

                    we’re a chance meeting
                    for you to see the signs

                    we’re a harmony unknown
                    in the words we sing

                    we’re a chance meeting
                    for the gifts we bring


but
to always
breathe her words
walk her mind
be the song in her throat

oh, she grows me green
but jealousy has no place here
no…she grows me green as a bud
watering me
allowing me to grow
and shine

so I am watchful
and waitful
and grateful
in anticipating Martie…

A poem by one of my favourite poetesses for one of my favourite poetesses! What's not to like?!?

To appreciate the beauty in others, one must have beauty within themself!

This is such a soul-touching present that you have gifted our beloved Martie with!

You are both very beautiful ~ within and without.

Loving hugs to each of you,

Linda

oh sunshine, what loving kind words...and honor for Martie, which she deserves...she is all you have written and more...
Especially loved
  for we’re deeper than you think

                    we’re a chance meeting
                    for you to see the signs

                    we’re a harmony unknown
                    in the words we sing

                    we’re a chance meeting
                    for the gifts we bring

Extremely profound and you and Martie all the way...exception charisma with baby blue eyes of nature...which sings in the beauty of both your hearts

Thank you for writing and sharing, she's going to be surprised and extatic...

Karilea...thank you for reposting this.  It does show the beauty of your giving and gifted heart.  Very clever how you used all those titles of my poems...(I thought I better mention that in case some didn't realize what you did) And so, as you already know, this one's for you!  


She feels like a poem
covered in pearls,
lost in a meadow
or ocean of furls.

Taken down into soft sand
by sun wind and sea,
glinted by moon light
protected by trees.

Whistled by gypsies
with dancing  bare feet,
laughed into good humor
feeling so sweet.

Listen the poem
whose cadence is rich,
pull thread through her daydream
and take the first stitch.
--------
You make me smile!

Most lovely and loving, as is Martie's reply.  I'd love to see what you do with Toerag (chuckle).  Thanks for sharing this.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I may very well have to take the Toe challenge...heh....

Martie has become more than a poet and friend...she is very much like a sister to me, and for her bending down to pick me up, I can never thank her enough...

Toe, perhaps she'll write one on anticipating Toerag right after she writes one on anticipating the beubonic plague....

No one can do Martie full justice but you come mighty close, Sunshine...nice work!

When fine minds meet and greet
Mortals get treat that's sweet
These words I hear bring tear
You both write clear and dear

I'm happy to join the accolades for you two.  KJ

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

I'm not new,

that a write of Martie's is always a gem.

She's a peach.....

...or just about any other tasty fruit you can think of!


But I've found that "anticipating" isn't in the lexicon, where she's concerned....that's one lady you can't predict....
