    Terra Cotta Scramble

Run down the bricks of attention
time takes just a minute
  
The wind has taken over the clouds
whisked trails of milk there

Cool walk of good dog sniffer
long sleeves have come

Squirrel the noise of trees
lip sink rustle

Cotton underclothes and jeans
litter the sidewalk sway

Bring the kitty close
and warm the hand with purr

I am loaded with purple
and the dredge of time

The terra cotta is scrambled
a patina making cement sudden art

The breeze comes gently now
the thought of your hands comes too

And the blue blue sky

I don't know about your 'purple'
but you sure are loaded with some mighty PURTY thoughts~

I was watching those very clouds, and they gave me that exact thought....you show them brilliantly here.....and oh, what the evening sun and near-full moonbeams did to them just at sundown!

The pace of this, yes, it's like a walk, with a beautiful and insightful lady to help me see it as she does. Speaking of which, I do like that new picture!

I sometimes wonder if your eyes actually do see colors that ordinary eyes do not, and if you could somehow show them to us in the way you show us feelings we had in even the most ordinary of circumstances, but didn't recognize until you put them into words.

The cream which you gently pour into your
cup of tea swirls so beautifully....

I love your creativity in writing and imagery.  Your artistry is quite evident!  You have masterfully painted an Autumn scene!
Think I'm going to run away with this to my library.

I could easily fall within the painting of this--kind of like the scene in Mary Poppins where Dick Van Dyke is painting on the sidewalk...  Wow!

Martie, the patina on clay is my favorite thing to "look into" as it is art, and you say this well.
