I feel the ocean in the air iceplant wooden stairs mottled by the birds of summer down down the toes of warm the night swept up by the opening light Alone just a slip of you and piece of rock with pocket filled with lust and sandy trust listening in your head to the song I left while tenderly digging and filling up The surf like lashes of your thought blinks me drenched with wanting to be caught [This message has been edited by Martie (06-14-2003 09:37 PM).] |

Alone just a slip of you and piece of rock with pocket filled with lust and sandy trust Whenever I see your name my smile gets a little brighter. Martie, it's all good, and even better than that! You are a wonderful poet in every sense of the word. [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (06-14-2003 09:33 PM).] |

QjQ In this case the iceplant is something that grows on the ocean cliffs here in California. Still glad I brought back a memory. Lori--I thank you for saying such a nice thing...and for making me smile too. |

I love the ethereal feel of this, like a wistful, longing dream at the edge of coming true....your daydreams have more of both beauty and reality in them than a lot of people's real lives.... Thank you for letting us see this pretty, private moment. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

the sand, the salt spray, the wooden stairs, and the iceplant you've captured so many of my memories in this one, Martie thanks for the feel of it |

Martie - lovely words that take me to places I haven't been for a while - my seaside memories are all as an adult but they are special just as your poetry is always so special - Paul |
