SALINE  two valleys lie side by side…where wild deer still roam and hide two rivers, where they verge…Smoky, Saline, run to merge this is where I live and breathe…this is why I shall not leave for I’m drawn by the Smoky’s haze…o’er which I often gaze in the middle of this great land…I’ve come to watch, quietly stand mid the valleys of great tall grass…where Indian spirits have not passed where cornflowers are blue as sky…meets turkey foot grown on high as meadowlarks cheer my roam…this I deem my native home LA born but small town bred…never knew where belonged my bed that sense one has to find her own…led me here, no more to roam to touch the ground, feel the warm…to search the sky, know no harm to breath the air, pulled in deep…to sort my thoughts, which to keep where gold rustles ‘neath the sun…where bodies work till all is done where one is braced by Kansas air…leathered people still stop to care where cottonwood by river’s bank…gives one shade to give God thanks as short blue meets tall blue come green…a feeling, a sense, all is serene two rivers, where they verge…Smoky, Saline, run to merge fill their banks, then flow on more…follow their way to Missouri’s shore pass me by, I place leaf’s ship…that shall flow on to Mississip and on that ship, in sunlight’s gleam…shall forge on, a forgotten dream… |

Dear lady...that was simply the most artistic marriage of art and poetry I have read in a long time. The flower almost looked like a river, where they verge (did you notice that?)hmmm bet you did! The images were so beautiful I could almost smell the flowers. No pressure here, I am growing to expect nothing less.  Please visit me at my new homepage: |

two rivers, where they verge…Smoky, Saline, run to merge fill their banks, then flow on more…follow their way to Missouri’s shore pass me by, I place leaf’s ship…that shall flow on to Mississip and on that ship, in sunlight’s gleam…shall forge on, a forgotten dream… =================================== See me here on Missouri's shore ... water flows of legend and lore I shall wait for leafs drift ... downstream I will receive thy poetic gift. Two poets souls touch in time ... brought together by love of rhyme. (you KNOW your format and inner line rhyme made me giddy..right)  Though my soul may sit in darkness, |
