(Can't sleep, think, feel, at this late hour and a person's gotta do something.) We Traveled Far And Wide to Where The Woodbine Twineth but we had No Business Kneeling In Love when Under my Skin Moonlight Seduction was Fitting In amongst Softly Swept Words with Acoustic Grace. One Day Wiser and we thought of Burning Bridges and a Frog Named Butch, but the Birds and a Friend In Need with such a Sad Face made us pause and give Just Consideration to the Forbidden. Balanced on a Fulcrum, I Can See The Room in You, He’s 21, Tall, and Victorian Thin like a Solitary Leaf and Alexandra, Ah Love, I’m Left Speechless at The Way You Make Me Feel Behind Plain Eyes of Prosaic Epiphany Blue and I Remember The Climb to Peaceful Perfection On The Waking. But those are now the Eyes That Were on Day 247 Doom and it’s now Day 249 Nonsense. I know when At The End of Your Rope you Imagine God’s Palette and Fossils On Hair but have Sea Thoughts and board a Vessel to Home (Amongst Another) and attend to Autumn’s Chore so you won’t hear me say, “I Luv U Paulie and I’m Keeping Your Love”. Just then the Waitress came Up and told me of her Sad Dreams of the Upas but I thought of it as just Winterblahs and suggested she straighten herself out because One More Day of Bottom Feeding with Cyber-Hugs would send me off looking for Lost Treasure. She missed my Subtle Lines but I felt Her Gaze as she shouted, “Ariwara”. “Touche Ole”, I replied but I secretly thought we were both into Subliminal Muse because we made no sense With Words. And Then Morning and You Crossed My Mind, Dear Thomas, when at Confession Time I revealed Softly as I Left that there are No Fleas On Me or In Each Of Us but I was certain that they could be found Cupped Close in the Music if one had need of them! |

Aren't you something else!!! I know for a fact this is harder than it looks. I tried it myself once, and it's challenging at best. You did a fabulous job, and you always write so nice Helen~ |

I realized in searching back, through your loving weave, how we all missed what was happening right under our noses...this little light shining in aurora of all the miracles blended together. You rock Honey! Thank you for this. TD |

Dixie, Sea, and TD - Thanks so much for reading. I've done a few light hearted stories from titles but the poetry from titles is a first attempt and generally on a more serious vein. Too hot here to rock at the moment - summer rainfall late this year. |
