Tompkins Hill Road The Alder trees All leaf lost Thatch the air Their twigged touch Covered with a carpet Of magic mood moss In the late afternoon Fairies toss Their bell like laughter Across the sand dunes Into the surf They curve around the minute With sweet winter breath That finds the joy Of all seasons For a moment On this winter afternoon I find it too [This message has been edited by Martie (01-11-2002 10:53 AM).] |

Martie, your writing is always incredible and never ceases to blow me away. The imagery in this is outstanding, unique, and beautiful. I loved the whole concept, but especially the lines :"Their twigged touch Covered with a carpet Of magic mood moss" Gorgeous words, Martie. *Krista Knutson* |

Martie, I love all your words, but in this one I felt sorry for the serf who had all those bell like laughs tossed into him. Kethry. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (01-11-2002 06:25 AM).] |

I guess nature poetry has always held a special place in my heart, especially this week, which is the dead of winter in that heart and I dearly enjoyed this. Kathleen--(Kay) |
