This is what happens when you sleep, a new forum opens and you miss everything. Well Karilea congradulations on having the first poem in the new forum and if I type fast enough I might even be the first reply. I am letting out a big sigh here wouldn't it be great if the winds could carry us to loved ones who live far away. I am going Tornado watching and seeing if I can get one heading towards Australia. Beautiful poem...no place like home, love those ruby slippers.  "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

Why Mr. Yeats, yet another Haiku from you...I must have done something very right today...thank you!... Sy, I've been accused of wearing several shades of rose colored glasses in my past...there are times we do need to take them off...[don't worry, they'll go back on soon!]...thank you! Sven, kind words indeed...it was a BLAST opening up the Forums this morning and finding 10 all to my lonesome... Jenn, indeed, one never knows what the winds will blow in...good fortunes, whispers...dust... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
