Sunday Morning I remember listening for a sound that woke me to my face gently breezed by open window with jasmine as sultry as a sigh wafting dreams of islands and pools the color of your blue eyes those azure seas with fish like flashes of perfect primary color weaving between the swaying slithering plants and your sweet breath was there the way it croons in sleep as familiar as the rustle of leaves from raccoons digging sniffing night vigil and then the far-off call of the neighborhood dogs all listening with me to the disturbed quiet and singing into that first glimpse of dawn when the morning dove sighs me to sleep with you curled against my back and catching my neck with sweet shivering contentment.

Martie~ Just beautiful ..... 'jasmine as sultry as a sigh wafting dreams of islands' Who'd want to roll out with images as serene as this !  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

This is truly, truly exquisite--seemingly simple, but intricate...a sonata! a "keeper" for me, please! thank you much. |

This must be why they call it free verse because you set my spirits free every time I read one of your masterpieces. Beautiful, Martie. |

Liz--one word from you is worth a thousand. Marge--Tis true, and I didn't. Serenity--I love that you would want to keep this poem...of course and thank you Balladeer--Free to be you and me...I wish sometimes that I could write my heart in rhyme, like you and so many others here. |

Martie, That you write from your heart is what matters, dear poet. And I can assure you, you do that with all ease. Lovely, lovely verse! ~ Claire |
