 Scribbles 51--He
Can you hear him
mumbling
tumbling
down to earth?

Riding on a gentle wind,
he whispers by,
catching up my hair
in a dance only he knows.

He holds me close,
surrounding me
in the spicy-mild,
wet-dry, dead-leaf smell
of him.

A kiss and I taste
Halloween, jack-o-lantern
smokiness
on his breath.

And then he's gone,
his steed now carrying
a harsh new master.
A cold, old man
called winter.



this is one of the first things I ever wrote.  it is ancient.  But it fits.

I like it...it's lovely. I always like going back and reading things I've written year ago..it's kind of like a mark on the wall where we can measure our growth...

HI Lyn...

Yep, I love it. One of those tiny gems that glitter as brightly as any in a ray of sunlight because of the power of what it reflects and refracts.

This was really simple - but completely beautiful "his jack-o lantern breath"
and than old man winter with his coldness.

Well phrased and brief two very good qualities in most poetry.
I either publish it or toss it, so there's not much of my stuff for me to put up.
Shame, I was good at begging for sex in a very literary way,not lacking tallent with euphamisms. Well it was a good read so I guess I'll have to remember you.

so enjoyed reading your poem "He" Lyn, such perfect word imagery I was transported!
especially today, when our city's temperature nudged 39degs C (nearly 100degs F)and it's still only spring!

Stop that! You'll start me liking poetry.

Wonderful - if this is early work, you started high and then went climbing.
