Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

Dried leaves rattled and rolled
Across the rain-soaked yard
Until they rested on blades of browned grass

Lit like amber by lingering rays of autumn sunlight
They flitted in place
Reminding me of birds with broken wings

You made me shiver inside with these touchingly beautiful words. Such poignant imagery. John will be moved too up there ...

Love,
Margherita

Tears fill my eyes at both the beauty of your words and the reason for the writing. Thank you for this, sweet lady.

Alison, I have no words.  Just that you revered John so beautifully, entering his very soul and blended your words with his.

there are rather too many now ... that no longer walk the fine blue sands of 'P.I.P.-land' by the cyber-sea.  All those fine poets are grandly missed!
