Paper Dreams

Tina,
this is such a beautiful poem, it must be absolutely
wonderful where you live. To have your fence leading
out into a meadow and where the deer squeeze through,
how amazing.

Thankyou for a great read.

Yes, we are lucky. When we found our tiny, chalet bungalow - ten years ago now, we also discovered we had a hilly meadow, topped with a million acres of sky;-)

Thanks for reading, and glad you enjoyed.

Tina

Thanks, Kahdai. Pleased you liked it;-)

Ah Tina,! it's amazing, especially the (ending lines I wanto keep them! K xx

Julie - thank you for reading this one, so carefully;-)

I am really pleased you liked it.

Hope you are well.

You know how to describe nature so you feel you are standing right inside your picture. This was very beautiful and atmospheric Tina. Thanks

Pia - thank you;-) It was interesting you used the word 'picture'. I do like to paint my surroundings, sometimes...but judging by the results, I think I shall stick to writing about them;-) Glad you enjoyed.

Tina

beautiful descriptive prose and a cracking ending, if only!

As you say...if only;-)

Tina

Absolutely, positively beautiful this one, Tina! Seriously well done! Love this stanza:

'Light’s like fizzy,
liquid gold
this afternoon –
like the demijohn
in a musty coign, full
of wine from last year’s
russet apples.'

Simply stunning images :)

Thank you, Magic;-)

By the way, I hope the 'Radio Star' got on well this lunchtime. Unfortunately, we did not make it back till about 2.30 this afternoon. The nurse was running late. Just our luck, but we were both thinking of you;-)

I will look on the site later and see if will be repeated. I do hope so.

Glad you enjoyed this one. I thought you might;-)

Another wonderful poem Tina, reminds me of Ted Hughe's October Dawn. Full of beautiful description. :-)

Wow! Thanks for that, fatboy. You have made my day;-)

Tina

I really enjoyed, I particularly enjoyed the last stanza. Such a hopeful ending and beautiful images through out.

Thanks so much Beeme. Much appreciated;-)

Tina xx

yes I love the wistful ending too- though I think I'd go a bit further south than the geese do!

Thank you insert...Yes, you're probably right;-)

A beautiful poem excellently
portrayed, in many things thoroughly
enjoyed.
The pond-partly
frozen over;
on the surface
a kaleidoscope
of leaves
amogst the reeds
with scraps of sky
peeping through.
great I remember kaleidscopes
turn colours as a child wonderful did you.
Well deserved cherry!

Your descriptions are beautiful Tina, yet another excellent and enjoyable piece.

I am very lucky, David and I know it. All I have to do is look around and the poem is there, just waiting to be written down. But then, I guess that goes for all of us; whichever place life leads us to, it's there, before our eyes...if, of course, we choose to see it.

Thank you so much for reading this one, (and all the others) I do appreciate it,and it means much.

"All I have to do is look around and the poem is there, just waiting to be written down"

Sounds like a suggestion for an I.P.
