    Beautiful! As always. Thank you, Kirsten
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Enter, if you dare,
    Into the verdant wood
    Beyond the fences, and on
    The faint trail - the only sign
    Of human presence
    Through the greenwood
    Breathe in the heady, heavy scent
    Of spring well underway
    Of new growth and soil
    Listen for the song of unseen birds
    Well hidden in the leafy glade
    Be still for a moment
    Civilization and stress forgotten
    Close your eyes and breathe deep
    Of the spirits of the forest
    Ancestors and ghost of travelers long past
    And feel your pulse slow
    Listen to the birdsong and hum of insects
    And just breathe
    I've Been Frosted

    Karen, you did it again!! Such a beautiful poem; it describes that moment and that place perfectly, just as if you've been there with me! Wow

    Pat, thanks a lot!

    That's how evocative your photos are! I'd say we should meet in the middle and do a gallery show some day, but that would likely put us somewhere mid-Atlantic ocean ... not many visitors out there!

    You amazed me again with your pictures Kirsten. You have to keep trying to get some art magazines to publish those.
    The second picture was my favourite, I sat and stared at it with such a feeling of being there, just so peaceful and tranquil.


    Karen the poem you wrote to go along with the second picture was also amazing, very well written, made one feel the reality of the picture. Maybe we could have a talent section on the forum.

    Yes, the mid-Atlantic ocean area would probably be a bad choice, but maybe we could present our work on a website?

    Love the two new poems you've posted! You really captured the emotions of my pictures and put them into beautiful words!
