Under whispering trees in dappled shade, come sit with me on this fallen log in the gentle hours. And I will read to you poetry of times long gone when forests breathed sweet fragrances and life was slow. Feel your worries slip away to the leaf-soft carpet unwelcome as you step into this wonderworld of magic tales and mystery. Let me paint your dreams and wishes and hopes and memories alive where the sun by day and the moon by night embrace you and let your spirit dance and sing, remembering. And when the poems end as all must do, may you arise and may your workaday be soft-edged and bright-hearted and for that I will be smile-glad. Owl |

Upbeat, beautiful poetry, Owl. You are very adept when you set your thoughts to this kinda poetry you excel in, although your darkness comes in a very close second. As they say, and I know you will, keep writin'. . . ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Wow, thank you Jerry for all those compliments. Another wow! Nobody has ever complimented my poems of darkness as a type before – not that I have too many of those . . . though, on second thoughts, perhaps I do have more of them than I think!  |

Thank you very much indeed, Martyjo. I hope your reason for being away wasn't that you were ill. Love to you too! |
