Fresh Air Open door to fresh breath of air It seems to me you are still here The sun rises with rays so bright A spider’s web made overnight Glistens in the morning light Roses shine with morning dew The outside world reminds of you The Baby Tears look just right Snuggled by the long brick walk Oh how I wish that we could talk. Listen, hear the Cardinal’s call See Blue Jays showing off their all As they perch by edge of waters fall The days beginning once again And you are still with me my friend The Blue Plumbago blooms with ease The ants still march their ever tease And Violets appear in clumps And oh how I remember still The day I stepped on that ant hill You looked up and with a glance Saw me jumping an odd dance As much pain as I was in I managed to sport a silly grin As I watched you hold your laughter in. |

you take me to a field of daisies, and whoops, a family of skunks, and the fences that needed to be hurriedly crossed! I know it doesn't make much sense... However, your poetry has special meaning to my lyrics. Iliana is right; I am quite honored. Your poem is quite beautiful, and it is very sweet of you to respond to mine. You inspire! cathy [This message has been edited by miscellanea (02-09-2006 08:20 AM).] |

Thank you all for your nice remarks. I love to be out and I am always covered with ant bites that turn into small white pustules and itch like crazy.Tiny little fire ants.I never learn and still go out in sandals. LOL thanks again, martyjo |

Cathy, no , you inspired. Your short meaningful write caused me to think of the outside and there is so much more that can be written, but by others.I am not proficient or as interesting . Thanks, martyjo P.S. Here in Sunny Central FLorida it has been down to 39 degrees for two straight nighs and mornings. Going up to mid fifties later in the day. We are expecting a light freeze tonight. So plants have to be covered |

Lots of stuff in the news today; as I was having difficulty finding a brighter picture, I scanned the poetry and found this. When the world seems to go amuck, somewhere the flowers are blooming and the ants are are having a hayday. Your poem has helped brighten a dismal day. Thank you, late arrival. miscee |
