Gone now, her quick, clean lines and tilting globe of determined sky. She hung her skirt out wantonly on the naked open neighborhood, dark with clouds and pink with dawn, I listened as her tongue licked trees. No need for solace in her rain, my weeping chalice is gone, where winter skies and dappled roads flush the aching river in me to the sea. A tree was made so love could stay and blossoms gamely on that day with pink peach petals weeping down where tears have not an opening found. February is gone now, with her quick, clean lines and tilting globe of determined sky. I have fondly said goodbye. ----------------- In loving memory of Michelle.

But you allow all of her lessons to stay, love. As it should be, and always will be, from the top of the mountain to the shore.  |

Martie - all your poems are wonderful but when in memory of one gone they are outstanding especially in terms of the emotion you impart to the reader. It's like we too must say a fond goodbbye until February shows us again the love you have inside.  Helen |

A tree was made so love could stay and blossoms gamely on that day with pink peach petals weeping down where tears have not an opening found. Dear Martie, it's always an event to read your poems. And this one stirs deep emotion within my heart, for the beauty of the words and the beauty of you. Love and hugs. Margherita |

It takes some people years to be sensitive to nature, you were just born that way, and wear it well. This was beautiful Martie, but wish I could read it, and then, turn the page to the next.  Carpe' Diem |
