I heard aluminum crash against the spill of morning and awake the desperate air singing like lightning it curled against time and startled the trees I was rain then desperate for fire filling the clouds until they were dark riding the wind from the sea listening to the spirit swift and keening opening me Awake now within the light a crow is calling to another and the trees have talking leaves cool their fingers now release the hold and twirl the smoke is gone within this air Against the spill of morning the clouds are clouds in truth darkening they move across the blue of sky and in the gathering of time coming there is a promise and a thank you |

Saw a sky high map last night that showed the smoke fanning out toward the sea... and quietly, I walked the hills once more. Well done, Martie. With tenderness and grace, as always. |

This is absolutely stunning. The imagery does indeed make one feel as if they are literally "seeing" the words. |

Sometimes those dark clouds are a very good thing. Today especially, when everything is burning, they give hope and even some relief just by being there. You have such a way with words that the poem disappears, leaving only the images in my mind. Magic, that is...and it's a pleasure to be under your spell for a bit. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

It's a pleasure to look through your eyes -- in or out, I suspect. |

You are able create, or re-create, a mome in time so realistically, that I am transported to it and feel as though I am actually experiencing it. You truly are a poetess, Dear Martie ~ with a gift divine.  Be safe! Be well! Linda |

it curled against time and startled the trees I was rain then desperate for fire ============================= Let it Rain... oh let it Rain...  Your personifications define poetry Martie-girl.  Words break into splinters on the pages I write |
