The Fair at the Fair

Lath house of sunlight
air falls
misted into a forest

The color of silver slanted rain
in freeways from the sky of man made mist
turn to diamonds and takes the hair
of the little girl with braids
who wears them into the flowers

and enchants me

A Moment Poem (my new definition)....captures a moment in scintillating detail....this one in a way that only Martie can.

You make me wish I'd gone to the fair today, seen that little girl myself, just to know whether my eyes could possibly find the beauty that yours did....

You bring the magic with you...
and you always leave a little behind.

Good morning, Martie!
