 The Last Warm Day Fall whispered, a crisp tinge to its breath, I’m coming but I, I stood in the last vestige of warm sun, flung open my arms, and took in the heat, casting my own shadow… Sun beamed upon my face, and whispered would you like one more warm day? How could I say no? In my joy, one last bloom began to rise, and I waited, with open arms to share with it the warmth of the Sun and we watched as Sun moved south to winter but Sun said only for a few months because she promised to return to warm my days to let me fling open my arms to welcome bees buzzing to let the sultry warm curl my petals and she always keeps her promise.  |

The sun's promise to return is crucial to those of us who are solar powered...Karilea, you captured the essence of those last warm days just before the onset of winter...It's that promised return that gets us through the snow and cold... ...believe what your heart feels... |

but Sun said only for a few months because she promised to return to warm my days to let me fling open my arms to welcome bees buzzing to let the sultry warm curl my petals and she always keeps her promise. ================================ I, for one can vouch for that   someone is getting as artistic with her photography as she is her poetry... and that is a very cool thing... or in this case..a very warm thing Beautiful K...poem and pics!!! No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ... and I never saw blue like that before. ~Tom Kimmel~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (11-14-2002 10:10 PM).] |

Ah Karilea..we had one of those days here last Sunday, in the 70's. Another warm thought to pull from our memory bank during the cold winter ahead. Beautifully done...wonderful pic. ~Hugs~ ~Love, like magic, depends on believing~ |

The warmth of your own sunny rays come shining through this exquisitely written piece of fine poetry. Divine--literally!--in style and content. Karilea, I save so much of your poetry, that I wish that I could buy a book of your poetic works which I could proudly display on my bookcase! ~ extra warm hugs for this beauty Linda |

Sunshine, this must be my favorite of yours that I've read. It is beautifully and vividly done. I felt right there in your stead, taking in every ray and joy of your stand. Lovely, lovely, lovely! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Very nice, Kari. I can feel the warm touch of the sun. Though it is completely gone from my neighborhood. Sandra |

Great imagery, Karilea. I have just one suggestion. Perhaps you could add in a verse about a kitty flying across the sky courtesy of ol' Long John's boot. Whatta ya think? Wouldn't that be sweet? lol |

And you do, you warm our days, no matter the chill that might be outside...your words always bring a comfort to us, and a feel of warmth and sunlight, even when the sun does not shine... |
