Phew Fay! Not going to comment on your style’s architecture this time.Just want to tell you that I’ve read this four or five times; much more than the attention I give to amounts (but not all) of the work I see on MPS. I still believe I need to read again, so I’ll pop it into my favorites for easy access.
That last stanza doesn’t need any more work from me - you pointed it straight at me didn’t you? :-)

What a delightful turn arounf in your piece today. From the growing heat which can boil into temper lost argument to the thoughtful pouring of oil to bathe the feet of a troubled, loved mind.

Once again i see the embroidery of your work as stitches only you could place so deftly and I love the analogy of life long close skeins becoming entangled.

A poem which truly shows you as a master of this poetic thing we lesser mortals strive for.

Great positive advice for those who need some in these difficult times.

I need no such enticements for a smile is never for from my lips. Why, simply because it feels good to be a happy person. I do count myself as lucky in having this disposition. One of my pleasures is to know i have passed thru my genes this same happy disposition to my handicapped daughter who does not speak at all but she laughs smiles and giggles very much.
For me there is much in life to be thankful for and so - i\'m happy.

That \'crown of snow\' disappeared during the day and I can already see spring rising - I have daffodils rising and some are flowering already.
Great words Fay.

Ah, your poem gave me a sense of joy at the certainty of Spring arriving. We are deep into Winter here, Spring won\'t be arriving until April/May. It was a brief moment of pleasure and a lifting of spirit to envision the Springtime through yoour poem. - Phil A.

Fay, your beautiful poem made me longing for a bit of snow, but all we are getting lately is a lot of rain. Ah well.....

Many of those green shoots are already beginning to show (albeit currently under snow in many parts). We have a bed of helebores now showiing their colours and spring bulbs peering out of the soil. It\'s the beginning of a magical season as life, slowly at first, starts to burst forth.

Lovely poem Fay.
We always leave the dead ferns through the winter for the insects.
I cant wait to see those green fingers coming up in spring

\'Warmth starts down below
when roots begin moves to unveil
flow of curled ringlets
which fingers of Spring yearn to open.\'
your words read true, with far more meaning than their immediate association to those pillar\'s of Nature\'s certainties within tangible Trees...
so too, within each of us: exist
ringlets of budding possibilities
fatefully waiting, till
we take the time, to look
deep within and realise
what wonders we can achieve...
such a meaningfully brilliant write dear Fay, so subtle in execution
but worth reading several times to unfurl its hidden depths

It\'s dangerous when it freezes over - or is it us getting old and more careful walking on it?!

Oh yes indeed. Whereas we love to see a covering of snow, and we have a good covering in Worcs today, we do so enjoy those signs of springtime.

Thank you for bringing the joy of seasons into my home at this time when i am forbidden to go out. Will we be able to enjoy the spring and summer again this year..... it seems a long time ago since this city dweller enjoyed such natural pleasures.

Not every poet can find the romantic sense of life but you Fay never fail to reflect romance in your words and a playful nature that crosses borders to share and pair to your hearts desire. Neat flowing thoughts on rekindling fires.
