MEET ME IN THE GARDEN 22 July 2011 Meet me in the garden in the blue mists of morning, the bright leaf-greens of midday, the sungolds of late afternoon, and the silver-moon shadows of the night and we will dance like butterflies unfolding the splendour of their wings like yellow-billed kites delighting in the thermals like homing hadedahs and their haunting calls like swanlake lovers last pas de deux’s . . . dance till we drop, and have to part again, with sad eyes sighing, till the next time we meet in the garden of our dreams . . .

Beautiful writing, owl. Suddenly I'm feeling all sentimental... when I was good and perturbed before. You have no right to affect me like that! Michael |

Owl - Your fanciful dream succeeds in one major accomplishment among many. It puts the romance back into romantic. That takes talent which is obviously in the garden here. Very well done Owl. Namyh |

Dear Diane, I was born to dance so this poem touched me deeply just as all your poems do. |
