You are the striped umbrella saving my place on the sand keeping me cool when the temperature rises my fashioned summer wear. You are the sunscreen on my lips and the subtle pleasure that pleases the salt spray playing misty for me a sail away for just a day blowing offshore in the breeze. You are my standing reservation my favorite getaway vacation anticipating my blanket turned down by the sea. You are the glow of sunshine on my cheeks penetrating the soft spot underneath you are the tulips and daffodils lying in wait for spring. You are a whisper in the rustling on a bed of golden leafs the fireside warmth of winter wrapped around my hearts content that takes the chill away. You are the sweet spin of cotton candy my sugar coated mischief maker a ticket to ride a little longer the ping pong ball landing in a bowl go fish. You are the featured attraction a thousand pennies for my thoughts the ringer of my bells my summer fare my tilt-a-whirl. Forever my love as long as it lasts. ~*~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (03-22-2003 10:26 PM).] |

 (smiles) Oh Lori, this is lovely, sweet friend, this had me imagining I was out on Laguna Beach soaking up the sun and going out to the carnival in the evening and the cotton candy got stuck on my lower lip but the love I imagined always felt sweet! (kiss on cheek) Yay, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Chris~ Love is like a tilt a whirl, it makes you dizzy sometimes don't it? Thank you so much for your nice reply. Maree~ So sweet of you to leave your smile for me. I feel honored and I thank you sincerely. Nancy~ Like sister like sister, thank you for picking and choosing my favorite lines too. Margherita~ I'm glad you enjoyed. It means alot, and I thank you for saying so. Noah~ I am always so happy to read your take on whatever I write. Nothing like a summer fare (fair) it's a nice thought to look forward to eh? Thank you dear one. |

Ah sheesh now that I've edited this a thousand times, hey that's a penny for my thoughts but it certainly isn't a feather in my cap. Dang Michele, you are too much fun. We could be dangerous, then again we could paint the town in just the right colors. Thank you girlielocks~ Aww Lauren~ thank you for the lovely. I need a vacation also, this little mind trip doesn't really cut it. But it's all I've got to go on. Hugs you~ Ken~ Well yes, we're all in good company! All for one and one for all. Thank you kind Sir~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (03-22-2003 10:40 PM).] |

Forever I hope! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

My pen is in perpetual training and runs a bit too freely at times. I have to round it up and rope it in before it threatens to run away with my emotions. (too late maybe, but it sounds good anyway) Thanks BC~ Forever is a lot to hope for, but I'm holding onto my ticket. Hugging you Larry~ Larry Onward James, and a thank you~ |

You are a whisper in the rustling on a bed of golden leafs the fireside warmth of winter wrapped around my hearts content that takes the chill away. And this person is obviously your love, your heart, and definately all things good in your life. A wonderful write.  |

The person I'm referring to lives in the heart of me... I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy, it's like the water colors of my love that blend and bleed into one another. Thanks again WhiteRose~ |

Lori, what a beautiful sunshiney, beachy poem I almost missed....a poem having one of my favorite places on Earth....the beach. I love the beach, daytime or night. And, I love poems about it, too. Thank you for this one, sweet bluesy lady. And here it goes back to the top.  Hugs, Ethel |
