BareFoot In The Rain Oh disdain Oh disdain, you spatter tears upon my day I sat long and waited, you taunt at me, of coming fray, Forest nymph, forest nymph, I’ve come to watch you dance, Oh rain, Oh rain, play the song again, for her prancing trance, Nymph of light, lilac and white, I feast upon thy sight, Please dance again, in laden rain, and lift my melancholy blight You dance for me, b’neath the willow trees, this night, Passionate light, naked in silken rain dress, in the sparking lights Watcher and lover, awaiting the wooing rite, lustily a fire barefoot in the rain, lovers in the green, silver bodies of the silken mire. Tonight the rain does not tire. James Parker Haley Mar 20, 2000 |

Parker~ Beautiful is your watching .. she plays just beyond the glen The endless enhance of the raining romance caught in one glance wooded nymph of chance dance, dance, dance Lover watching from afar lit by fire of lusting desire barefooted nymph dancing in the rain Mesmerized with lovers eyes little nymph at play dance the raindrops falling dance the day away Enchanted forest of delight faerie dance within this night entice the rain to never end dance little barefooted nymph ~*Marge*~ |

This has a very different feel to it then most your work. The sunshine must be really be inspiring you in different directions....well done. Or is it lack of sunshine? Marina [This message has been edited by Marina (edited 03-20-2000).] |

Parker - the verdant moors soaked with tears of heaven's disdain, love calls nevermore, lost in lonely fears of midnight's cold rain. But in the morn the golden one rises in the east, not so forlorn warmth of sun soothes even the beast. Corinne |

Parker this one simply astonished me in its etheric beauty! (Although there DOES seem to be an awful lot of 'fray' goin' round...) Thank you, friend, this one, too, is a "keeper"! |

This was quite entrancing~ Rain and nymph together dancing~ In the wood with cupid prancing~ Together entwined.. perfect romancing~ Lovely poem~ Marie~ "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Rain of softest touch Dance upon my skin Make my head spin Of places you have been Speak only of happiness And now let the sun shine For she will make me grin And my fun can begin A bit of a jealous poem I'm afraid. I think I'd rather have Florida's rain then Toronto's cold and dampness. Marina |

Wow!!! Can you feel the mystical quality of the air after reading that? (I know I can!) Makes me remember why rainy days (and nights) are some of my favorite times!!!! |

Light, lovely, mystical, and so beautiful. Written in perfection, this is. *Krista Knutson* ~*Only when trudging through the soul's darkest midnight can one truly appreciate the glory of the sunrise*~ |
