Hi, Grace! Lovely, indeed!
When you posted this, I was painfully suffering through my last day at the hospital on the CPM machine... with a newly discovered bed sore... and twelve hours later was transferred to the rehab hospital. I'd love to have been able to read you poem then. I love summer rain! Thank you. past the bend running was my bent… such pressure… fell to my knees; limped through Guide’s strait gait © Daniel J Ricketts 18 Dec 2003 ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

Good Morning Daniel,
How lovely to hear from you. I have been thinking of you and praying everything went well with your operation. Not the dreaded bedsores!  I know exactly how this feels. I suffered badly from them after acquiring my new hip. I hope your recovery will be very speedy and that you will at least be comfortable for Christmas.  Glad you liked that one. In 1976 we had the longest Summer drought of all time. On 31st July in rained for the first time in about 5 months after a scorching Summer. It rained so hard that within 2 minutes the roads were flooded to a depth of about 6 inches because the drains were full of dust and couldn't cope with the sudden deluge. People were dancing in the rain!  Summer slinks away hidden by autumnal mist unseen, unnoticed Love and best wishes to you Daniel Grace

Dear Grace
Quite lovely ! Lets see if I can respond : WHIMPERS Summer slinks away hidden by autumnal mist unseen, unnoticed Autumn, fading, hides its many hues and colours : blanketed, banked, blanked. Shush, speak not of slush; winter's end fills busy drains, green springs sprout afresh Spring's dated newness fades, all cloaked by greenery; Earth, primed, produces .....

Good Morning Alan,
 Great response! WHIMPERS Summer slinks away hidden by autumnal mist unseen, unnoticed Autumn, fading, hides its many hues and colours : blanketed, banked, blanked. Shush, speak not of slush; winter's end fills busy drains, green springs sprout afresh Spring's dated newness fades, all cloaked by greenery; Earth, primed, produces ..... a Summer meadow dappled with blood red poppies where the skylarks rise Grace Galton (verse 1 and 5) Alan McAlpine Douglas (verses 2-4) ······· ······· Love

Hi Grace,
unmourned, with throats cut on the fresh-mown Summer lawn murdered daisies lie I'm with you! (I don't mow interesting flowers out). All these veggies and tidy gardeners massacring all the plants. Anyway, a jolly good Haiku 'twas - and back to the original Japanese theme of nature. on the log cabin ice crystals hanging from eaves rainbowed by the sun Lovely, pastoral and very evocative. my head tilted back to catch raindrops on my cheeks end of Summer’s drought Great for today's murky day... good job we can share it; I'm tempted to let Daniel have it for his pains (Hi Daniel! Welcome back) but I don't need to... you've given it to us all. Thank you. 1976 - I remember it well - we called in native American shamen to dispel the heat and encourage the rain. What a terrible Summer! I love saunas - but I also love to step out of them. And yet another fine poem! Some other excellent poems on here from Daniel and Alan and others but I think yours strike especially true for me, Grace. Absolutly fantastic! Well done to all. James. |

Dear Grace
Loved the haiku, and can respond with a few on the same subject, very much with you and Ralph in mind ..... Still, rapt in our love, my cheeks tearless, salvation holds us forever. Though flesh will perish, the glowing raptures we know cannot be ruptured. From beyond the grave, there's levity in your voice; I know your laughter ..... Physically gone : gravity may own your bones; I've the real you, still ..... Love Alan |
