Snagged The Pyracantha thorns unseen On craggy reaching branch of green Seemed resolute to catch my eye And snagged my sleeve as I passed by Then turning to release the hold Of spiny hooks in cotton fold Most skillful movements couldn’t untwist Entangled spikes around my wrist And then I saw tucked in her care The reason she had held me there If not delayed by her request My eyes would never have been blessed For cradled deep within her breast Three aqua jewels in downy nest Elizabeth Santos |

This is so beautiful! I can not wait to read more of your work now! It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it. ~ Lena Horne |

Another beautiful poem... Good work. Life has all kinds of little "thorns" that are intended to snag our attention. ~El Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

 (smiles) Oh Elizabeth, I believe with all my heart this is a true story, sweet friend, for before I saw a robins egg in its nest and we made sure it was protected! (kiss on cheek) This is so cute, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah, THank you, dear. I wish I could be there in Colorado to hear you recite your poetry. I would just love that. Dale and Rosemary. You are my invisible friends, though I've never met you, I've always felt a closeness that I can'r explain. Compatable spirits, I would say. Thank you kindly for your comments Liz |
