~*~ Darkness slipped into morning naturally, the sun had come up attempting to put a face on the day but the clouds stifled it's glow. Hung in the mist, that fell in the shadows the fuchsia's, content on their own. It is spring time after all but the winter is still whistling. Bleeding hearts lie uncovered exposed to the cold, braced against the slack tied down, like a sash between seasons. Thinking of you in the breezeway of my mind as the clouds parted and peeled back, pouring a bucket of light whitewashed in gray. A flock of birds flew and made for the sky while I watched and I wondered, had they read my mind too. ~*~ |

Blusey Very nice, seasonal poem....  A couple days ago the daffodills were poking out of the thin snow...this stanza reminds me of that... "Bleeding hearts lie uncovered exposed to the cold, braced against the slack tied down, like a sash between seasons." yes, "like a sash between seasons" enjoyed ________ice ><> |

A flock of birds flew and made for the sky while I watched and I wondered, had they read my mind too. ~*~ they just do, don't they, when we receive their insight and their loving light dont forget to scatter some crumbs for them, tho the winter is over, they want to feel the love of us humans into the warmer months too sorry, im having a blonde moment |

Hung in the mist, that fell in the shadows the fuchsia's, content on their own. It is spring time after all but the winter is still whistling. Ah, yes, you got that right! Very lovely write Bluesy One.  hugs, Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

Darkness slipped into morning naturally, the sun had come up attempting to put a face on the day but the clouds stifled it's glow. But today was gorgeous here. I really liked your poem, especially this verse. Happy weather to you. Sadie |

Aw the season of mixed emotions. It seems it comes too often. I love how you express life. And I love most how you live it! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Bluesy, girl, one day we will all fly. Perhaps we shouldn't be wishing it too soon - life is a "promise" after all but I sure wish it would only promise good things. Sorry, I got carried away. Lovely poem and I envy you welcoming spring while we feel the chill of approaching winter. |

"Bleeding hearts lie uncovered exposed to the cold, braced against the slack tied down, like a sash between seasons." Great verse Bluesy, especially like the last line. Have a Happy Easter, I'll save ya the black jelly beans...  |
