Summering Dim the mock lights, no cool down tonight, no offshore flow - freshening. Too hot to cook you don’t seem to mind, devour other bounties - moonlighting. Airy earth blanket beneath icy stars speaking in tongues - silencing. Wish away wilting days spending short nights - summering. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Corinne, very interesting read, and a little criptic I see. Always a little mystery in your writing. Parker |

Oh, Corinne~ I like the very sound of this. 'Wish away wilting days spending short nights - summering.' What a delightfully unique word -'summering'. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Core, This is absolutely beautiful! Summer never sounded better. You inspired a response poem. Here 'tis. Summer Fare Van sang of a marvelous night - perhaps not one like this, with so much heat and so little kiss of salt. Yet, the moon IS dancing and we feel its pull on tides so distant from the ones you love, but no less sweet. The table is set - too hot to cook - too hot to eat. We dine. © RAM 7/6/00 |

Nice, Sweet, Simple, Yet deep, Meaningful, Wounderful, Devine . To hear of the feast, With wineing and dining, I enjoyed every single great line . Loved it . A very inspireing poem, with more to it than first glance allows . L.of.L. Tom . Don't try, do or do not, there is no try . - Master Yoda - |

Sounds so perfect. Be glad you are not here in Ireland or it would be wintering, if you have an extra sun could you please donate some. A wonderful poem Corrine. I am so jealous of the scene you painted. "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else" faster-Manic street preachers. |

Thank you, RAM, for such a lovely response poem. Nothing like a Van song, is there? Thank you also, Angelsweing, Elizabeth, MAMiller and Brian. Brian, I'm Irish, so I'm jealous of your locale. Such is the way of life, eh? Corinne |
