In The Sleepy Forest ~*Marge Tindal*~  Quietly the Winter forest lay sleeping hushed in the morning dew Blanket-of-night was tossed aside by Spring sunbeams breaking through~ Alarming shrill of Mocking Bird shrieking a wake-up call While Red, Red Robin joins in merriment bob-bob-bobbing along~ Grandfather Oak can take a joke though his leaves came tumbling free His new finery of Spring attire will set the forest green with envy ~ Squirrels in scurry-hurry swish of tails in frantic applause ferreting out the acorns hidden with tiny little paws~ Warm winds rustle the undergrowth deep in the forest bed Wake up !Wake up ! Spring is about ... Get up you sleepyheads~ All things fauna and fowl begin a curious yawning Spring has sprung - Winter is gone The sleepy forest breathes on a new Spring-dawning~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Hon - this has my heart jumping for joy. Spring cannot come to New England soon enough. But until it does, thanks to your wonderful words and imagery, I have this to keep me going. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

How your work gives me such a big smile, not unlike the coming of spring and the Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes of Texas Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Gosh, I just received a notice that this one has been printed out and will be used for a poetry group discussion at their next meeting over on the Florida West Coast~ How wonderful to know that my words are shared with others~ Many thanks to Jane for her participation in her group and for wanting to share 'me'~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
