Hello Cleo,

Hope the migraine clears up quickly. sun.gif

Thank you for the fish I now have five LOL.gif I'll need a bigger aquarium soon!
I see I placed a haiku in here by mistake. I shall move it now - my apologies, still not thinking straight.

Morning Dew

dewdrops
cling like jewels
suspended from the web
of a spider on the sundial
then.. melt

won't turn over
as we nervously sit,
stranded with my leg touching your
bare knee.

Hi Jessica,

I enjoyed reading your fine cinquain!  Thinking about the meaning tells me the situation could be chilly and warm depending on where you live, of course.   laugh.gif

Good work!

Blessings,

Dolly    :pharoah:

Life's Changes

Sometimes
things can happen
to make differences..
that began the day I met you,

I empathise with this piece entirely Dolly. I also was thinking along the lines of changes:

The Photograph

candles
light up your face
animating your smile.
Remembering your gentle touch
I cry



Daylight

your soul
mirrored brightly
beside my reflection,
burnishing this winter morning
I smile

silence
overwhelming
all sound, clutches my heart
searing the scar left by your
absence

Ohhhhh Grace,

This beautiful cinquain tears at my heart bringing peculiar little droplets of salty liquid leaking from my eyes.  You write with such visual graces, Lady Grace.  I'm so sorry for the loss of both our loved ones ... it hurts like the dickens and leaves a gaping void where once they danced.

Blessings to you, dear one,   :cloud9

Hello Dolly, sun.gif

I'm glad this touched you.  It does help just a little to try to express the loss and if at the same time it moves others I am delighted.

While we remember them, they never die.

Love

A key

to see into your soul
and learn the wheres and whys of you

Arch de Color

Cloudy,
few sunshowers,
gentle breeze cools the day,
puddles drying, kids back at play,
summer.

Ice cream,
chocolate cone,
ice tea and lemonade,
pot o' gold waits at the bottom,
rainbow.

Dear Larry,

Like ! Inspired me to write yours somewhat backwards - using your first and last words, inverted, as my last and first :

IN VERSION

Summer
clemently comes,
and will dry us all out;
damn showery April, inclemently
cloudy.

Rainbow
consolation
perhaps for wrecked picnic ?
"Be still" they all say, but soaked, hungry, still
I scream !

Alan McAlpine Douglas
