i got inspired to write this poem after reading Miss Sharon's 'A QUIET MIND'

(In Shakespearean accent) To prose or repose, that is the question! (smile) I love this. Instead of a phantasmic muse, you wish for a tree from which to pluck word leaves from. Whitman had his "Leaves of Grass" but we seldom want those growing in our garden. Lovely thoughts elegantly expressed here. I enjoyed the read. F.

'in my spacious urban garden' hooked me
'finished i sigh lie back in utter repose' offered calm
i also visited your 'the honey bees' ... that returned me to the simpler years of many years past
good writes indeed

why would one only read today's history when there is so much more to absorb.
your writing is genuine and unpretentious

that's an awesome compliment coming from you jacob, such an established poet. thanks for stopping by to read & comment. i actually got inspired by miss sharon's words "a word tsunami floods my mind" in her poem 'a quiet mind'.
that tsunami would only happen to me under my word-tree !!

Wow, if words could grow on trees that would be really cool. Each branch and twig holding a different word, each with its own unique meaning, kind of like the leaves on a nornal tree, unique in its own way. I enjoyed reading this very much!
Might I ask, how did you change the color of your font and add an image along with your poem? I really like it.

[Carola]

hi aura, thanks for stopping to read & comment.
i write all my poems on my apple pages program & insert any images there, make font & background colours & shadows there. then to upload I take a screenshot 'cos I can't upload from pages to WC direct.
