I am definitely getting a huge reaction from my new reader
I will check out the ladies now. I have been reading a lot of the poets from the 20's over the last week as well as Gerard Manley Hopkins and John Donne, two of my favorites.
I saw you a moment ago lost between my lashes at the corner of my eye I saw you, I knew you reflected in my mind, the memory of kisses pulled at my lips, my heart beat faster, pulse at wrist, at throat jumping, koi rising to the surface for the evening feed I saw you a moment ago caught in the tangle of my hair blown across my eyes, a jealous wind keeping you soft focus I saw you, I knew you, dancing to the rhythms of our hearts, tango interrupted when I lost sight of you between the hours that I wasted in the office building futures that are emptied now, a mockery without you, yet I turn because I saw you, I saw you a moment ago just out of reach, my hand, my fingers reaching for the touch I gave away.
This is an interesting time of year, emotions run high, stress is higher and the weather is all over the place, so it is good to have a place to make a start on expressing all the different feelings. Glad you enjoy reading! Thanks.
The sun came up so what? Just means the sky is lighter than the dark it was, a beginning of the day or end of night take your pick the choice to be a Pollyanna is yours see what is there or choose to see a lack no matter because the fact remains the sun came up, this morning.

This was posted (very briefly)on the McDonnell Douglas Website by an employee who obviously has a sense of humour. The company, of course, does not have a sense of humour, and made the web department take it down immediately (for once, the 'IMPORTANT' note at the end is worth a read too...).

Let me add that 'looks ' are not necessarily the perfect profile model types (although I won't discriminate against them) but something in the eyes, the smile, an expression that brings a face to life and makes it beautiful to me.
Lady K, I suspect this is a weed...vine with bell shaped lilac flowers and dark purple centers rather like foxgloves to look at. They grow suddenly after heavy rains and die after about two weeks.
Regrets
YS, good morning. Thank you, it is a little odd (and funny) to read posts when the post that generated the comment is gone.Guess she used too many emoticons. And she was unnecessarily impolite as she had already told me twice that she didn't like my stuff.
The gift given to me was that I suddenly felt surrounded by friendship so it was a little like having my birthday a week early!
My thanks to everyone who commented.
