Ah - there you are Fay, I wondered where you\'d gone.

Is that the vase shape of the inner daffodil flower I see before my eyes? Yes, but in words this day it heralds beautifully the onset of our most welcome change of seasons.
Like the return of opening buds it\'s so good to welcome you back to my humble screen with your warmth of words. Hi there! - how are you... are you staying a while?

My Dear Fay,

Happy to ‘see’ you today. Reading your poem has brightened my day. It’s cold and wintry like today where I am.
Thank you for sharing.

What a blessing your poetry is! I enjoy the way the poem tapers in length as the reader journeys further. Great display!

\'of making Nature blush
with bud-burst notions
and whispers blown
thru\' each petal\'..
ahh, dear Fay
our MPS, Nature Poet
par excellence!
\'making us, drift
and glide, on your wings
of ink..
as our fingertips, type
on QWERTY, keys
as-if, we\'re brushing
Nature\'s, velvet leafed
verdure cheeks...!

Just as seasons change so does our mood,
But may I offer ‘thoughts of food’,
In bitter cold of Winter, we long for Spring
Borrow your words of wisdom n warmth, waiting to spring

tis a fact, a sure fact of life that this happens & so often .. dreams are shattered, sometimes in an instant .. and sometimes over varying periods of time ... you have painted a most vivid picture of a process that none of us look forward to .. x5 stars awarded .............. N x

Fay, you seldom include yourself expressly in your poems, and that is an admirable, challenging thing you do so magnificently... but when you become confessional, it is perfect!

These lines are very precious dear Fay
It seeks the individuals
It seeks nations wide
Tomorrow holds a promising future
So we walk merrily
Persuaded in our heart
Everyday shall be a glory
Yet at times life takes by surprise
We may end up somewhere far off where we thought to be
I could see your lines reflecting in our lives
So true dear Fay

Yes, and yes Fay. You have so much wisdom, I admire the way you can craft poems in such nice and neat ways. Love is at the center, if we play our cards right, we will reap that \"delivered success\" you proclaim. Amazing.

studied metaphors that engaged
me with images
Tucked away yearning
awakens and persists
I can see the memory
in the shape of the pillow
stronger images of dawnlight
creeping the gentleness of beckoning fingers
I can see you in a house on a Portsmouth cliff looking out to sea

dusk arising said:

A long time ago there was a hit called \'sailor\' - \"as i call across the sea, come home to me\" remember it?

Your reader can\'t help but feel the yearning and perhaps a little fear in your finely tuned words today Fay. Allsorts of picture themes spring to mind. These emotions you express go so far back in history yet are as relevant today as they ever were. Easy to picture you in that cottage going about your day to day yet tied to glancing from that window, eagerly ready to dash down to the shoreline.
