I gaze on a backyard of crepe myrtle breaking through against all odds, I smile at a tent-like awning structure that will allow us to enjoy temperate days outdoors when it's complete, I listen for thunder to break the late summer heat, I speak French to the cat who only responds when I do, I make coffee in a dutch delft cup, and I sit in my parlor of Victorian furniture and my Yamaha grand and I feel like a Queen - back with my own things and memories again. Thank you Glenn for drawing us all into the love circle that our poetry group provides us these day.Beachannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638256396472533685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-24007442119051479042014-09-05T21:17:17.053-07:002014-09-05T21:17:17.053-07:00Glenn - this is a beautiful poemGlenn - this is a beautiful poemAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-35104416634818583262014-09-05T14:54:42.314-07:002014-09-05T14:54:42.314-07:00It is interesting how friendships can be formed, e...It is interesting how friendships can be formed, even with those you have never met in person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-69465695363968376402014-09-05T10:52:23.384-07:002014-09-05T10:52:23.384-07:00First of all I loved that quote - smiles, very ins...First of all I loved that quote - smiles, very inspiring<br /><br />The portrait of 70s have come out with rich details - loved it.

And ah, that's the JOY of blogging, without interaction, the web is nothing; that feeling of connection with people whom you've never met really is magnificent. And that's why I am so happy to have dverse, twitter, etc. etc. and why I make it a habit to swing by even when I don't post myself. Whether a piece is all metaphor, fiction or the happenings of yesterday/tomorrow, it is a peek into someone's heart.
