The style reflects a bit of Martie who needless to say has been a huge influence in my work, the artsy look comes from my mother in law's "dislike" for the boring prose format, her and Nancy would get along great. (English teachers, doncha love 'em).

The title phrase "...like a faery," used by permission. (Rosemary J. Gwaltney) and if you are interested in that piece... it can be found at...

... like a faery


all that’s left are these

few pieces of Kodachrome laced
throughout a withered album and as
the years roll by I feel so much more
the missing many but I'll be seeing
you again as always you keep
me hanging like a faery
in the spoil of
dream

&

reminisce
where reflections paint
my wander and you meet me under
the wind of October and we go walking
again in sand of remember down by the
willow when the leaves of crispy
come & aren't you a bit
nippy here
wear
my
coat
come on
lets watch the
leaves float ... away
away ....... away
hanging like
a faery




Speaking of ghosts, wouldn't you know here comes mine again...

Kaoru,

I've seen your work too... your a progressive learner might I add. thank you.

Sunnyone,

Nice to see you got out of Camelot for a minute. You surprize me, haven't you been here as long as I..? Thanks so much.

Midnitesun,

No doubt Martie and Nan will..! They read everything you know... Even if they don't always say so...

Janette,

Thank you so much too, you are all so wonderful. It's nice when someone drops a line and says so.

love all, dale

We walk the same path so many times....and it leads to the photo album, which leads to the memory, which brings it back like it was real...and is with your words.  Hugs as always to you and Rg, for being part of the life I have with those memories.  You are both so special to me!

What exquisite sorrow some tender memories bring!  What careful craft you use in bringing them to light.  A great gift you have, my dearest.
