Wisteria Fall Wisteria's leaves tumble now, like green and yellow clothes she lets fall into the breeze. She will be bare soon, her branches like a young girl's, smooth but thin, all knees and elbows that she's not quite ready to show. I didn't see her bloom this year, and next year seems so far away; other seasons may come, but I do not wait for them. These leaves are blossom enough; my heart can paint the rest. |

Ed, I love this one. I have had wisteria on my front porch and miss it here in Florida. Just the memory is sometimes enough. Thank you. martyjo |

Your beautiful words were a feast for the eyes. Wisteria is one of my favourite flowers and I imagined so many beautiful blooms as I read your words. Take care........Sue I am in motion |

There's a little park I stop at rare times, when my job duties take me that way and get done on schedule....I never stay for more than a few minutes, but I truly love the feeling the place gives me. There are benches and trees of all sorts, and an old historical home with a wisteria arbor.....which, as chance has dictated it to be, I've never seen in bloom. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ [This message has been edited by Ratleader (12-03-2005 09:51 AM).] |

You may have never seen the Wisteria bloom but we've seen it through your eyes. Excellent job. Wonderfully written. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
