Crimson and gold are colors so bold they jump out and shout Hello to you. Green and blue sometimes can be cold or cool, like icy blue streams and pillowy green moss, or scrumptious plump blueberries near swaying willow trees of pea-soup green, that turn sunny gold when days become cold. Red raspberries sweet and yummy with milk will fill up your tummy with such happiness and warmth you would think they were as yellow as banana peels or tart lemon. Of course there are so many other flavors and scents that color our world, it takes a rainbow of tasty treats, the kind that fall from windy wrappers after a thunderous rainstorm to begin to describe the color wheel. And the aurora? I call it my Rainbow Dancing Lights, and the blues, greens, reds and purples that swirl and dance amid soft creamy whites in winter's midnight blue Arctic sky are such a magnificent color ballet, if I could I would send one your way today to encircle your body and soul with soft,warm golden dreams. This is for Jaime in Denver, who can see and feel colors with his heart, touch, and imagination, and who is fascinated with weather phenomenon. |

Lady in White, Janet Marie, and Paula: Thanks for reading this, and for the kind words. Paula, I didn't know Jaime until yesterday. He emailed me after reading my humorous poem called "Personals Ad". Jaime is blind, surfs the net for weather info in braile, and said he has always been interested in Alaska. I've been meaning to do something with an aurora theme, and Jaime's excitement about Arctic weather has inspired me to really look at things more closely, and to work on improving the imagery in my poems to make it possible for others to see the aurora through taste, touch, smell, and imagination. Yes, Jaime is great! Thanks, Jaime, for inspiring me to do better. I'll try my best to show you the beauty of the Arctic wonderlands.

What a cool thing to say...calling something I wrote a symphonie of color. I am happy to have any complement like that. Have you read the one I put in Analysis (that's what I call it) it is entitled Spelunker, and I'd like your feedback on that one when you have time. Thanks, Kacy |
