I think that poetry is an intimate conversation. I have never met Martie but I have read her poetry and feel as if I know her. This one is for Martie. Calico Basin in the evening setting sun turns the ruby hills afire a young breeze plays fast and loose with buffalo grass and Mormon tea turns its pale yellow flowers shyly from the glory of the the red Indian paint brush cliff dwelling swallows swoop low in glee playing catch me if you can with the cats claw acacia jack rabbit on his way to bed turns for one last look at the day deep purple cactus flowers close in sleep blue night slides over canyon walls and lays comfort on the silent desert |

Kate...I am happy to know your name so that I can call you friend. Your words take me to a place I'd like to see, have seen because of your intimate conversation. Thank you. |

What an exquisite poem! I, also, have never met Martie, but in my humble opinion, you have captured her spirit and soul so beautifully in this! So it isn't only your portraits of those we don't know that appear so accurate yet magical, but you have passed the real test, with jetplane colours, of portraying one we know. - Owl |
