An Appetite For Joy The buzz of an August afternoon Flits it’s fancy across new mown fields Sunspots creep across laughing leaves Dabbing freckles on broad green sleeves Prone in clover grass as daylight chases Magnify inspection, changing faces Hours float by, sunny side to painted sky Gardens shed the suppleness of new Memories of better times are few Turned belly down upon the earth A chin rest, hand on hand traverse Noted scurry to prepare a point of view Faint, the summer sunset falls to null Dinnertime and table side the opal glow Creative thoughts make shadow to the page Line dried pleasure in the winds to wage Done, the tasks demanded of this day Gone, the hours slowly ticked away And yet, this energy resounds its weight Growling at a rising moon’s articulate A hunger for the dreams left waiting Disquieted, the night debating, stay For the taste of every moment saved When still the sweet of love is craved Copyright Kkh 8/22/06 |

“Hours float by, sunny side to painted sky Gardens shed the suppleness of new Memories of better times are few Turned belly down upon the earth A chin rest, hand on hand traverse Noted scurry to prepare a point of view”  Norman Rockwell couldn’t have painted a more picturesque view. Great write Kathy! JL  Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: |

A hunger for the dreams left waiting ~*~ There are times when I leave dreams, knowing they will return... and I'm this anxious... knowing I need them as much as they need me. Well done, Kathleen. |
