Anticipating Martie she grows us green and like tender buds of spring keeping up the good search she allows us to grow encouragement and watering showing and showering having a whistle type of day so delicious the scents she cultivates… in pausing to think sometimes she is Eliza Doolittle to me for I hear of flowers and flower keepers I've seen us both hold the key knowing she is a giver of flowers then Martie comes to mind with a bit of an accent but oh so much wiser even when running on empty and she paints a moment like no one I know… O… her poetry holds court the good poets that are here all revere our Martie gently knocking, knocking on blue she keeps us rocking, rocking anew gently kicks us forward, takes us to our knees all I ask for, Martie, are some more words, please… string them, sing them make them rhyme show me distant feel the time walk with us and talk with us on a ride with such a view I haven’t all the words yet but some words do come to mind if I were to compare us I’d find me on the other side of her mirror knocking to get out… if I compare us…I don’t for we’re deeper than you think we’re a chance meeting for you to see the signs we’re a harmony unknown in the words we sing we’re a chance meeting for the gifts we bring but to always breathe her words walk her mind be the song in her throat oh, she grows me green but jealousy has no place here no…she grows me green as a bud watering me allowing me to grow and shine so I am watchful and waitful and grateful in anticipating Martie… 01.17.01 |

A poem by one of my favourite poetesses for one of my favourite poetesses! What's not to like?!? To appreciate the beauty in others, one must have beauty within themself! This is such a soul-touching present that you have gifted our beloved Martie with! You are both very beautiful ~ within and without. Loving hugs to each of you,  Linda |

Karilea...thank you for reposting this. It does show the beauty of your giving and gifted heart. Very clever how you used all those titles of my poems...(I thought I better mention that in case some didn't realize what you did) And so, as you already know, this one's for you!  She feels like a poem covered in pearls, lost in a meadow or ocean of furls. Taken down into soft sand by sun wind and sea, glinted by moon light protected by trees. Whistled by gypsies with dancing bare feet, laughed into good humor feeling so sweet. Listen the poem whose cadence is rich, pull thread through her daydream and take the first stitch. -------- You make me smile! |

Most lovely and loving, as is Martie's reply. I'd love to see what you do with Toerag (chuckle). Thanks for sharing this.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

I may very well have to take the Toe challenge...heh.... Martie has become more than a poet and friend...she is very much like a sister to me, and for her bending down to pick me up, I can never thank her enough... |

Toe, perhaps she'll write one on anticipating Toerag right after she writes one on anticipating the beubonic plague....  No one can do Martie full justice but you come mighty close, Sunshine...nice work! |

When fine minds meet and greet Mortals get treat that's sweet These words I hear bring tear You both write clear and dear I'm happy to join the accolades for you two. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

She's a peach..... ...or just about any other tasty fruit you can think of! But I've found that "anticipating" isn't in the lexicon, where she's concerned....that's one lady you can't predict.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |
