The creek still runs from the mountains and water falls over smooth stones there is a constant rhythm that flows along worn paths and familiar trees. The warmth seems to hang in the wind today hinting at the promise of spring seedlings that blew in from a storm have settled and thrived. A lonesome bloom is the the only splash of color more vibrant when standing alone taking nothing for granted. Swayed by familiar melodies on a sundowner afternoon when dusk takes the time to linger in anticipation, of spring into a summer song. |

I won't 'hi-lite' a 'favorite part' of this fine write ... it is all superb! VERY serious and long-sustained applause for this grand-fine 'penning'!! |

Swayed by familiar melodies on a sundowner afternoon when dusk takes the time to linger in anticipation, of spring into a summer song. Liking that 'dusk takes the time' as do you to observe and bring back with you to these blue pages of white you look lovely and bright as sunshine in your updated photo  |

There are some wonderful lyrical and rhythmic elements to this poem and my only individual disappointment is that it isn't written in formal rhyme/meter style. Much of the neter is already in place and a little more work would complete the task. My comments do not distract from all the others previously made on this poem as I agree that it is a very well written piece. I guess I just want more of a good thing ... |

A warm breeze is definitely a plus. The solitary flower normally seems lonely, but not the way you present her blossom. Very nicely done. It's great to read you again! |

Dear Bluezy girl, You haven't lost your touch. A scene that would be nice to share. I hope all is well. It is so nice to see you still write and pop in.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Hi Kacy~ I sure do appreciate you being here and for your keen and sensitive comments. It's about being comfortable in our own company. Larry~ You warm my heart, as always.

Now this is one moment in time that I can really get lost in. You yourself bring warmth to these pages and with this beautiful write the warmth radiates outward and the knowledge of understanding is evident also. It is always a pleasure to read your words as you always "splash your own color" in vivid array. |

My word! That was, as Marge used to say, "beautimous"!!! I breathed in the 'sites', the sounds, and the fresh spring air! You have me even more eager for spring to arrive. The snow is melting as I 'speak'! Happy springtime hugs, Linda P.S. What a treat it was to read this vernal offering from you, dear poetess!  |
