Jumping Naked on the Bed (In memory of Michelle) Jumping naked on the bed brown legs sturdy potato chips clutched crisply flying crunching graceful soaring dance Jumping naked on the bed grainy salty bed of chips glee abandoned childhood rapture curls hopping legs hop-scotching Jumping naked on the bed giggles brown eyes evening coming jumped the sky to dark you did lit with lithesome childhood glee Time delights in captured moment loving eyes can see though blinded a memory now torn and faded yet grabbing squeezing each bounce felt the camera’s eye dwelling lit in dark forever jumping naked on the bed |

Oh, Martie-Momma~ I knew from the title I shouldn't have read this one at work .... but, ..... my heart couldn't wait to hold hugs with you. I do ! Love you for sharing Michelle's sweet memories. *heart-squeezes* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

How loving memories can be so heartbreakingly sweet - I can never read a Michelle poem without picturing my own daughter at that age - it only heightens the intensity of my feelings - |

Jumping naked on the bed giggles brown eyes evening coming jumped the sky to dark you did lit with lithesome childhood glee Time delights in captured moment loving eyes can see though blinded a memory now torn and faded yet grabbing squeezing each bounce felt the camera’s eye dwelling lit in dark forever ========================== from a sweet memory and moment of innocence frozen in time ... you share it with us in that way ONLY you can do .. and for that ... I can only say ... love you and thank you If my slight Muse do please these curious days ... The pain be mine ... but thine shall be the praise. ~Shakespeare~ |

Beds make such wonderful trampolines to children, don't they? What a wonderful memory you have pulled from that incredible mind of yours, MArtie. Thank you!!! |
