Curb Appeal Mix and match the colors it’s time to decorate the lawn and all the piles are leaves from trees no ornaments for me How easy stringing leaves can be my rakes at ready like a gift laying there with teeth a muck with clods of dirt and grass all stuck Icicles of sunlight chimney of sky carol a love song mistletoe a lullaby |

Martie, And the scent of smoke awaits. Begging to be a pleasure. I like lawns like that. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

MartieSis~ ~Seasons Beauty displayed Decorating the lawn In poetic pieces of fluff Just the right word-stuff to mesmerize me Into feeling your soft words drift Giving my heart a lift Such 'Martiesque' Seasons~ ![]() ![]() ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I'm with you, no decorations exceed the beauty of nature's. I love the brilliant colors of autumn leaves and the glistening snow. Enjoyed this piece. Rae |

Oh how fortune spins her wheel to make sure each curb has appeal and I hug myself and smile to think of you across the miles I am blessed and thank god/dess to know and love this poetess! and oh you do make me smile-- and speaking of icycles, I know a certain icy bit-- a man so sweet and talented who melts our hearts with such replies-- Melt him? Oh I'd like to try! (tsk...was that below the belt?) ![]() ![]() Love to you both! Enjoyed your rhyme, queen pip! |

I've been to this poem a half-dozen times since you posted it, but haven't answered because I just couldn't come up with the kind of facile reply I thought I needed to make. I guess I never will, so I'll just say thank you for the moment, which you could have kept to yourself, but shared. We all need such moments, and to see one through your eyes is added beauty. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
