Creek Side Meet me creek side by the black valley oaks, trail the path of pines at Blue Ravine, where the fault lines have cut a chasm. On a blanket of leaves a repast for two, a cool libation - late harvest grapes, sweet offerings to tease tussling tongues. A private valley and hillside scapes, a streaming art song composed by ear, waiting for you if you will only come creek side, my dear. © 2001 Corinne Bailey |

Well, I'll be waiting on the bank, by a fire with a guitar. Park |

This is delightful! The second stanza is my favorite, and "tussling tongues" is exceptionally amazing. Nice to see ya! Can I be your willful breeze, Come to touch, Your heart to ease? |

How did I miss one of yours. I am so glad to see this one pop up in front of my eyes as I would have hated to miss it. You have not lost one bit of power or beauty in your poems and this is one that shows that well. Wonderful read as all of yours are. BTW Did you ever get the Humvee? |

California here I come - whooo eeee - love this - love that word too: 'tussled' too cool. Lovely Baccanal you propose - my guitar's lousy - settle for a small keyboard? |
