rains in spring delve into that spare smile place She has been tantalizing herself with. there are dreams and thoughts that flit and wink in the depth of her day as she offers herself, sweetly southern smiling and having the ease of voice enough to spray customed scents of gentleness on the odor of anger that needs to linger. The season of perfection nears and she anticipates where she will first see wisteria vines offering the fragrant fruit of flowers. these lavender or white petals droop sleepy shuddering with the wind snuggling with doting sunlight. They are her casual reminder of home and childhood and of grapevines bearing their sweetness in the most lazy of fashions just waiting for youth with a passion for mischief and hands hungry enough to unburden them. the day closes its curtain around her and although her love is missing her life is not what it should be at her age (at least according to the standards she had) and there are plenty of frowns to go around.. she . . . . . . . . stops decides to coil up in happiness for a while and dream at least of things that are good in life like spring wisteria being the kind of woman with the kind of personality most find warming (all this with a southern style all her own flair) and most of all deciding to call herself a woman instead of a girl. deciding for at least this day to take the word of others on all the above. How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |

Jenn, I felt I was looking at a picture you painted. The gorgeous purples of the wisteria, the heat of the day, bees stealing the sweetness from them. Then on to see the girl suddenly realise she is a beautiful woman. Wonderful peice. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Jenn, what a wonderful write this is! Another wondeful example of God's Wisdom in Women. Passion's is full of evidence that God did indeed bless Women with much wisdom. This is why King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Because God showed him that he needed the wisdom of these women to rule his kingdom. And they made him the wisest man ever alive, before Christ. Men! Awaken and learn.

So, this sounds like a day of awakening... and an inner smile appears to be peeking out... I like the looks of it.. I surely do..  I'll refrain from comment upon my opinion of King Solomon's motivation for keeping throngs of wives, however...  |

Jenn, Hey babe...I like this girl, I mean woman. Quite a lot actually. Nice smooth read. Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy |

You stir my memories with this one. We had a bush of mysteria that was kept nicely pruned and one of the prettiest things I've seen then or since...a lovely write, my friend. Michael Stars will shine when I am gone |

Jenn I have to tell you I LOVED this! There were too many lines to pick only a few. The visions of the wisteria, showed intensly the change of the coming season of spring and the changes in a girl. I loved how you used this metaphorically to show the growing up and emerging of a woman instead of a girl that was incredibly well done - you did that right? LOL and by they way sweetie while I am at it... |

I always find something new in your work. . . you seem to look through the world with eyes that are different. . . as shown here. . . well done. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
