Blessed be the grove

I think we must be grateful for a grove which brings such inspiration: the poem is like a whispered secret, subtle and sensuous. I love the structure of this - each 'sigh' prepares us for further confidences and we are not disappointed. Mike "not all matterings of mind equal one violet" ~ e e cummings ~

If its sighs you seek...

hehe ok ok never mind that! This place is truly magical. I can describe it no other way than to say it is my sanctuary, my peace, my home. "With whispering trees and sunlight pixies I shall dance the days away...” from another piece on this very place... "For every shadow, no matter it's depth, is threatened by the morning's light..." <3 Emarie

Sounds beautiful!

Really enjoyed this one, particularly the way the flow hooks you in - as Mike says, the sighs are used well. I also have places like this which seem to just 'be' inspiration in waiting... Well written. Regards, Jo

Besides your picture looking remarkably like Elaine Smith, a girl I had a bad crush on when I was young, the poem is very good. Ahhh, to be in grove on a soft summer evening with one you love. You took me to paradise and then told me I couldn't go back. *S* Beautiful! Respectfully, Rett: "If law abiding citizens are denied guns, the police don't need theirs.

lol thanks so much Rett! my piece 'Hidden Places' is also about this same place. its strange because I could forever be denied access to that particular place yet I could return at will with only a flutter of my eye lids... and as for looking like your old crush well...thanks so much i guess lol <3 Emarie @~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~@ "Tempted by your Tainted Love I sure do love the way you come inside my crystal ball..."

Congrats!

I wish you all the luck in the world for your anthology! When I was visiting the site often I always looked forward to your writes. There is NOTHING like seeing your words & your creations in print. It's heady, sublime, anxiety-producing & nauseating! All the best, Jo
