The Morning After ~~~ Sunlight softly flowing into a woodland dawn Where honeysuckles lift their heads from a sleepy morning fawn Though all of nature seems at rest neath the fragrance of a flower A distant cadence breaks the still beneath this rustic bower ~ A gentle thump and then another A shimmer parts the years Into the glade a silhouette with long thin drooping ears The whiskers graced upon his face show an ancient shade of grey A basket tucked beneath his arm as he stops to bless the day Then with a yawn he disappears amid a dazzling sight A multi colored kaleidoscope that fades neath Easter's light ~~~ [This message has been edited by Rex Allen McCoy (edited 04-15-2001).] |

Oh, Bravo Rex! What a lovely Easter offering from you. The visual imagery is wonderful ... and the flow is almost like a hushed whisper ... I very much enjoyed this wonderful cottony "tale".  Best wishes, /Kit |

Rex, this is absolutely enchanting. Wow! I really DO love the way you write. Such a charming way to bring this to life. (o: Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Drooping ears? Whiskers? gray? Oh, yes, I did see that Toerag was around today!!  Rex, your humor and unique ways of saying things has been missed. Good to see you again..... |

Wow ... you people sure know how to put a smile on my face  Kit ... thankyou for those wonderful words Alan ... many thanks ... glad you liked it Karilea ... we're all still kids, right? Thankyou Claire ... I was shooting for something that would appeal to all age groups Peter fading before Easter's Light tries to place it to the back seat of reality, While still guarding the exit from the realm of magic Balladeer ... actually I haven't seen Toerag perhaps he's still hunting for eggs Thankyou ... good to see you too Thanks Denise ... I'm going to be trying it out on a few 'wee ones' ... they're usually a good audience, even though I have to bribe them with treats Secret Whisper ... thankyou so much, for your kind reply |
