Under the canopy of lagoon water leaves hide green marble clusters piquant with the taste of early summer an exclamation wrinkled nose Quiz the fence now hanging post Believe the rake is primed teeth holding still for fall and change comes to all I see this in a grape across time wait soon the cement alley will be river one day the rain will fall and all and glory be in taste of sweet recall [This message has been edited by Martie (07-18-2003 05:18 PM).] |

Mike...to look up a word is a good thing, to admit that you did, even better.  Thanks for the read. |

Believe the rake is primed teeth holding still for fall wise words, and soon blooms of summer will live in on shelves, in cans and that's how it goes, i guess....... |

your personification is second to none... nor is your imagery... I see the drought is influencing your muse... *crossing moth fingers for rain*   "I'm good at two things and this is the other one." |

When you wrote this we were wine-sampling with some very good friends... a grape across time, indeed... making me smile, you are... [This message has been edited by Sunshine (07-21-2003 11:48 AM).] |

I've never done that, Martie... never looked at the world of today and saw it across time... but I think that I will from now on. Thank you so much for this... you're an incredible woman with a fantastic mind. Times will change and the old will be left behind, the new will be brought... the cement will be a river... but I hope these words you've written will live to see as much of it as possible. Brian Faith is a fine invention When gentlemen can see But microscopes are prudent In an emergency. ~~~Emily Dickinson [This message has been edited by Local Parasite (07-21-2003 01:34 PM).] |
