The Music and the Sumac Wars While Fishing A soft gauze sky drapes the hills Sumac crowds together its sharp underskirt blocking the way The relentless breaking of sticks echoes down the years back to the wagon wheels stuck in the silt of discovery with the percussion of path clearing Cattails watch from the serene other side old ladies still straight but dry declining to dance with the air the nests of spring are stuffed with their gray hair Listen to the music make up words to go with water it is stealing time and replacing it We beat it with line after line thrown from sticks of good intention the movement of the wrist and hand like a conductor in search of a song and wanting something fresh |

 (smiles) I love picking cattails in those wetlands, sweet friend, just love the fuzz that comes out of it and blowing it all around! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, this brought so many peaceful feelings, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Cool and what I'd give to watch. I sure love nature and your writing. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I was going to borrow one of these thoughts to place here but it rippled all down the page, and time was gone before I could. Smiling...wishing I were fishing with a poet. |

Listen to the music make up words to go with water it is stealing time and replacing it I didn't expect such serenity from a poem with sumac wars in the title (I've suffered the effects of picking such pretty leaves *G*)... but it doesn't get any better than this. *S* Beautiful work! |

My friend, you could write a beautiful poem about sweeping the floor, I'll bet! LOL Oh, I love to go fishing. It is good to eat fresh fish, isn't it? Hugs, sweet Lady  Ethel  |

A soft gauze sky ====================== time after time you do this... put a new image and poetic perspective on something we see every day... its what makes your poetry so fresh, so unique and consistantly written at a higher level. And time after time you make me say IWIHWT and I want to write like this when my muse grows up.   Im still imagining your voice ... |

Thanks Martie for taking me fishing with you - it is always better when your words paint pictures and weave emotions for me - Paul |
