Ah, I had a uncle who had so many wonderful stories to tell we would always lose track of time listening to him. I can relate. Nice pic too. Michael |

Beautifully rendered. I can just "see" the rapt listeners of Auntie's history . . . ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

It has been a long time since I talked... or listened... through the night. Times with reason to do so are treasures... Beautiful work! |

Marti, I am so deeply glad that you have such exquisite memories. I haven't heard her stories, but I felt them, as I read your exquisite poem and imbibed your equally exquisite picture. Hugs for missing her Owl |

Sounds magical, dear Marti! To talk and to be raptured and on top of all to experience the miracle of dawn, what can one desire more than this? Margherita  |

Thank you all for your very kind words. My Auntie was a very special lady and I miss her so much. We used to talk for hours when we'd get together. ooxx Marti |

Applause! a beautiful senyru. I can relate to this, it is like stories around campfires of my youth. What happened to those people that kept my attention all night by the tales of their life..? I see by this, that those stories hold your intrigue also. Thank you for the poem, and very good matching picture. |

Was thinking of my grandmother - gone since 1980, and thinking of this piece again made me smile...just though you'd like to know... j. |
