Over the red tiled Spanish rooftop
of the house across the street,
A bright beachball shot high up in the air,
there were no children, no shouts, no explanation
Just part of a day in the life of a window...
I now know what mescaline is.....

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

I'll tell ya, Toe, you could take little snapshots like this from your mind, put them into a book and I would be the first one in line to buy.

This is your style and you can flavor little ordinary nothings and turn them into small works of art in a way I have seen no one else do...it's something that comes natural and can't be taught in any poetry class. Write on, sir Toe

(smiles) Awwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, this vision made me feel so relaxed, I just love how you take small snapshots of life and make your own gallery of art upon these pages with your words! (sigh) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Toerag, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I love your poems that make me laugh or bring a smile to my face, but when you write like this dear Sir....your poetic talent really shines bright. Imagery and language joined to form poetry at its best. BRAVO!!!!
