memory

there are only wild berries here
and desolate grey sky. the ink
fading from my footsteps under
fields of honey locust leaves

the last wild geese honk goodbye
my orchids bloom 10 kisses.

Sweet Lady Jayne, Oh, you who have been kissed by the nine muses. Rock on, I love your voice... were that I could hear you sing...perhaps you'll record a song (what is a song but a poem put to music?) and post it to Neopoet. Love. ~A

hello Anna

Your words knock me off my feet. It really is Fall, it has arrived and with it a sweet sadness. Soon we will enter a time of rest so that there can be renewal. I love the pictures you paint with your beautiful mind. Orchids, oh my, how lovely. Always, Cat

I can't find the jpg I used (I posted it here, but apparently those do not come through with poems)...& my son took down his photo website that has a lot of my flowers, trees, plants... my orchids bloom in my kitchen garden window. Can you imagine a world where orchids bloom all year round...anchored to the sky? My x is visiting Peru... he's not visiting the jungle this trip around. ~A

Yes you must hurry, before the first flurry, as fall has just crept by, run with the cooling winds kick those leaves, then choose the best berries for your table feast, and as the leaves turn to their Autumn glow so the Pumpkin puts on it's best show, from green to yellow, as the leaves glow. You will laugh and play there very soon as it is way past Harvest moon, where faces carved by children now that halloween has shown us how we didn't notice the change of air what happened and the months oh Where, Yours Ian.T

5 stars....

...then, dripped from my pen as it changes into a microphone. I then read your poem into said microphone, to the listener of my soul...and the words became a feast...for me to digest. Thank you for this. "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

Anna, Lady of poetry's magic wands (Okay)

"It" added that bit after your name, automatically!. I was going to put that you have that presence, like that of a guru, or a charismatic leader, a 'something' indefineable, "Je ne sais quoi! That you let bleed into your poetry, your life, and it is felt and sensitive to the touch, be it the touch of the brain, the heart or the body; all is infused with a kind of ight and it seems almost as if you could write anything down and it would always have this aura of its own, how do we define it, its a gift to the world from someone special, you Anna. Your sister Ann
