Backlighting The back of the storm circles the edge multi-strange-colors at nine dusk comes in and out, quicksilvering slim lightening threads off and out there giant rumbles trembling slowly this way, a backwash of what could have been yellowing golds backlighting the underside of cottonwood’s leaves grays on grey’s white yellow tinged pink accumulations of formations all is a strange other world and I stand golden in its haze azaleas and camellias come to mind another yard, a different state a planting of promises that were seen only once we had dug deep in the postage stamp yard to put fragrance of rose and color of gladiola into being thin young trees planted for someday’s voluptuous shade memories now as backlit as the back of the storm circling an edge allows " It matters not this distance now " Excerpt, Yesterday's Love |

Sissie "thin young trees planted for someday’s voluptuous shade" I marvel at trees....have been back to the house where I grew up....some of them are gone, but others stand sentinal to my youth and to the fact that life changes yet remains the same. The light, the storm, the color of this poem...wonderful!  |

Ah how my dyslexia spoils things sometimes....this kept popping up in my head as "blacklighting"....just spoiled everything! It's a nifty poem as long as I can keep that from happening! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

This has an ominous feel to it and yet such beautiful memories. I'd say....hang on tight to the backdrop 'til the strom passes. Hugs to you, SIL.......jo |
