Poppies Fickle Road Sturdy yet fragile a face of grace holding on to air that moves petals like wings she loves wind’s hands upon her face but with tenacities fingers crumbling clods to slowly builds gates listening she yearns toward the road the river takes wanting to travel someplace unnamed like him to follow the sound he makes her whim maybe a mean wind she thinks could take one small part an orange piece of heart that could go with the flow even where cement would ransom beauty into the arms of the sea but she turns away instead to dance naked with the tree one arm still holding tenacity.  Open me she calls to sun guessing the hour the wind has blown the tresses of the field alive and on the road to harmony she is not the only flower to thrive the sound of the river is life sustaining down down in the middle part of earth it seeps into the press of dirt around and fills her with love for river sun and wind and now most blessed love of all the ground [This message has been edited by Sunshine (02-28-2005 06:22 AM).] |

Open me she calls to sun guessing the hour the wind has blown the tresses of the field alive and on the road to harmony she is not the only flower to thrive ~*~ There are all kinds of brown rivers, and the poppy seeks the hardest, most driest of all... Excellent write, sweetheart! |

maybe a mean wind she thinks could take one small part an orange piece of heart that could go with the flow I love the Poppies in my garden but it is still so far in time before they will show their beauty  M |

You...lovely....there are no words that can express your brilliance...my aunt used to tell me about the poppies in Calif. how beautifully abundant they've been....you are lucky, thanks so much Martie, for sharing both your visions and the picture, as you paint loving words across the hearts of all who read. |

Half an hour ago, I was standing by that river....it's an ugly thing here as you know, a goant slit trench of cement....but poppies grow on the banks, and I took a special message from them this morning, having already read this poem. You see the world in a wholly unique way, and you express that uniqueness in ways that make my spirit a better thing. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

listening she yearns toward the road the river takes wanting to travel someplace unnamed like him ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and fills her with love for river sun and wind ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ you knew I would love those lines. reading this is a lovely reminder of why you are our queen of imagery. one drop, an ocean ... one seed, the forest ... one leaf, the wind ... |
