Here on quiet mountain where I am owned by dawn reflecting copper rock and this raw umber earth familiar with my press of naked toes I visit arms stretched over time in greeting never needing reason washed in change of season without care the past as real as present slip of morning bird in freedom flight and frantic call over thousands bloomed in poppied flower exaltation flashing orange twirls in wind sun stabbing back of eyes to stir echoes of my tears I found again a day of carried memory and bittersweet of joy ©2006 by icebox |

This is absolutely gorgeous writing! My first guess is Martie, as well. However, I have read the Ratleader sounding like this sometimes, so that would be my second guess. There are a couple of others that I'm debating about, but those are my top two matches. In any case, this is a keeper of a poem!  ...jo |

On re-reading, there's a possibility this could be Midnitesun, as well. I'm baffled because this poem is about a beautiful free spirit and there are so many here. I still think it could be Martie first, Ratleader next, then Midnitesun? |

Thankyou C...I know this is me...can see the reflection of feelings in the mountain the poppy and the bird. Thank you for writing such a beautiful poem....you must be the one that stole my muse, as she left me rather suddenly. Thanks again for seeing into my words. |

WOW - someone did Martie *grin* I can think of no other who would be able to step up to that, besides maybe wranx, cpat, Karen or Maree. Beautiful job. |

Ah, you captured our Martie... almost... because it is hard to capture flight. [This message has been edited by Sunshine (01-17-2006 06:06 AM).] |

I've been away, and you've already guessed martie, but I knew it was she right away. You did her very well. It's a lovely poem. smiles, constance |

I'm hopeless at guessing masquerades, but see it so easily once all is revealed, and yes, I do so see Martie here! Beautiful poem. Probably my favourite of yours, but then I love all your poems. - Owl |

"sun stabbing back of eyes to stir echoes of my tears I found again a day of carried memory and bittersweet of joy" I was gone and missed the guessing but I surely love the poem. |
