Willow

Sensuous. (and I had to look up glissando cf glissade/glide)

Thanks;-) Musical terms always fascinate me.

sensuous - can't think of a better word for this, and it's beautiful!

My thanks to you, insert;-) Said tree graces my garden and I count myself more than lucky. A happy new year to you and yours.

Hello Tina,

being a lover of trees I was drawn to this poem
straight away. How beautiful your description of
such a wonderful tree.

Happy New Year to you tina.

Jenny.

My thanks, to you, Jenny.

Pleased you enjoyed and I thank you for your good wishes and send mine to you. Have a healthy, happy and peaceful New Year.

This is wonderful, Tina! I love the whole fluidity of the poem - and there's too many beautiful images for me to pick out just one, but I think the second stanza is my favourite :)

Glad you enjoyed, Magic. Had a feeling you might like this one;-)

Since I last logged on Tina you have amassed another 8 cherries! Hope you had a fab festive season. Love the sanguine summer sun - reminds me of Housman 'Ensanguining the skies, how quickly it dies, into the west away' I think?

Loved California Sands and Barnaby Jones but my favourite is Girl Painting which is just beautiful. Haven't read the prose yet - have lots of catching up to do. All the best Tina.

fb, great to have you back. Hope you had a good Christmas and I wish you a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year;-)

Thanks for reading my stuff - your enlightened comments and thoughts are always more than welcomed.

I shall look forward to reading your ongoing postings - sooner rather than later, I hope;-) Have missed you, and I really mean that.

Tina

Thanks Tina, yes it feels really good to be back, had a monstrously bad christmas and new year but got a nice surprise when i checked my e-mail that a poem I submitted to a magazine has been accepted and will be published in Feb! I'm going to get writing again soon I hope - and I heard you on you tube reading your poems!:-)

wonderful ii like willows too so beautiful :)

Thanks, kahdai;-) Yes, willows are lovely trees Tx

I'm really sorry you had a rotten New Year and Christmas,fb...I can only hope that the rest of the year goes better for you; you certainly have some good news already, about your poem, I mean and I would be more than interested to know which magazine. Glad you enjoyed my 'poetry readings' on YouTube. Quite a new experience for me;-) Although I have to say, I do prefer just making audio recordings, camera-shy as I am;-)

Tina

beautiful

Thank you;-)
