Julie, Now I REALLY feel cold. Brrrr.....! It's always heartening to read your consistently beautiful poetry. I remember the southern California climate, the lazy breeze blowing the palms on trees until they sway joyfully. A glass of iced tea in my hand (with an umbrella in it) (the tea, that is...not my hand). I wish you would release your poetry on CD so I can listen in my car while stuck in traffic...these kind of poems could melt the aggravation away with ease. Thank you, Julie. (It was either this or swear at you for rubbing my nose in it). take care...dan

I'll send you some California sunshine my sweet friend. Hugs, Julie
Simply amazing Julie!! Beautifully written... it just warms my soul and has me dreaming of watching the sun set as I dig my toes in the sand of my favorite beach in Cali.
"...swimming in an ocean of sapphire-kissed daydreams" My favorite line! Excellent job as usual with the imagery. Your voice is so graceful, and this poem really showcases that. I haven't ever pointed out syntax on here, but there's a first time for everything! The lack of end punctuation and the use of ellipses really reflects that drifting feeling already established by the imagery. Usually, syntax is not something a poet thinks about, unless they are very perceptive and skilled, like you! Loved loved loved this poem!

I've been writing poetry for 15 years. My poetry isn't unique in any way, but it is written from the heart.
I have trouble keeping up with everyone's poetry, so please send me rr's.
