The sun begins to slip Slowly past the horizon Like an orange ball of fire Descending upon the earth Leaving a blazing trail Of brilliant colors In its enormous wake Subtle shades paint the sky Pinks, golds, and lavenders Brushed over God’s canvas Lovingly by Mother Nature’s hand She chooses them carefully Looking for the right contrast To capture their real beauty The green of the trees Take on a soft glow As the sun draws nearer It quietly vanishes The vision remaining Is nature’s masterpiece A true work of art Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 03-16-2001).] |

Your writing is going nature.!!! alright! move it along girl, show us your stuff, sing it, play it, write it, whoo hoo you are in transition, keep growing, I did-sideways! ha ha time for a diet I guess. No, not really I'm still too sexy for my shoes!!! Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Kathleen . . . Thank you!! Yes, I went to nature this time. Something different I guess. I'm moving it along!! LOL. You are growing, but not that way!! Have to say, I LOVE this reply!!  Sunshine . . . Thank you very much. The sky is beautiful in so many ways I think.
