Wayward Wind

A horse named Wayward Wind

Her path led her to the Stable where she spoke 

in a whisper to her best friend whom she 

rode through Valleys green... where apple 

orchards afforded a quiet place to rest and 

nibble on apples sweet... 

In Celebration of a Poet blessed with 

the softness of the morning sun and the 

spirit of a hummingbird with colors of 

a rainbow after an orchestrated thunderstorm... 

with the purest sounds of violins... 

I dedicate his poem to Emmajoy who celebrates her birth 

on June 22 in a year of discovery of future poetic 

and romantic sonnets of the water falls and green 

pastures scattered with wildflowers...

A great tribute to a very talented and wonderful person. Happy birthday to Emma which every one loves her and admires her work. An immeasurable gift for an immeasurable friendship. Happy many returns dear Emma Joy!. May your days ahead stay joyful and fruitful...

dear Sami... I read Emma's comment just posted, and it is lovely to know that although there is a time difference across the pond, she is reading all the reviews of admiration and birthday wishes... and your review is like a bouquet of English Roses for our dearling Emma. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

All true. You are both welcome.

A beautiful poem. I love the imagery you put in there, and I hope you continue writing for a long time. :)

[Patricia Wedel]

[Samuel Dickens]

This is a lovely tribute to one of the loveliest people I know. Sometimes outward beauty disguises what's inside, but Our dear Emma proves that to not always be the case.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Samuel... you are a gracious poet to recognize the inward beauty of EmmaJoy. She is indeed a
talented lady who is gifted with a versatility that knows no end... as if the sands of the sea have revealed their secrets through the ages. Amen...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear sami... we need Johnny Appleseed to plant more Apple trees. Remember the song (but you are perhaps too young) "Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me". And there was "Apple Blossom Perfume" perhaps by Avon. Yes, we need a quiet place to nibble on apples sweet. Thanks for stopping by... as ever, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Gracie millee.

A lovely tribute to em on her birthday Pat. Nicely expressed on those we have come to know through writing.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Andrew... Em deserves a special tribute...
she seems to pour her heart out in waterfalls of soft whispers of feelings that spring forth from the ambience of many ghosts of the United Kingdom.
truly, Pat

dear John... it is our Spirit that pens our poetry. We spend our lives learning... and then we share with others to enable the younger poets to walk smoother paths lined with Primrose and wisdom.
Becoming wise is a gift to share. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... I am honored to read your review of the poem "Wayward Wind" to honor the birthday of our cherished poet Emmajoy. She deserves every praise that can be bestowed on one of England's sweetest and charming poets. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

All true. You are welcome....

[An owl on the moon]

What a beautiful, moving song of life and wonder that sings through your words. And a glorious dedication to Emmajoy. She has been here over ten years, lifting so many who have found her. As do you, dear poet.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Owl... such a sweet and kind review for a talented poet Emmajoy. She is gifted with the sounds of romantic melodies that bring words softly into our hearts. truly, Pat

[Perdition]

A wonderful gift for a wonderful
poet's Birthday. So how is that River doing down by the Kenmore Inn these days? I use to be a ghost of the summer nights in that brick outdoor restaurant downstairs just scribbling away my thick struggling words and buying up the art work that the river induced before walking down to watch the fishermen work and drink...wonderful area. Thanks for the soft read and tribute~

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Perdition... how quaint that you are familiar with the Rappahannock River that runs through our city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Yes, there are ghosts that haunt certain houses and are well documented. We have taken guided strolls on the Eve of Halloween and felt the Spirits that still linger when we listen to the winds of time. truly, Pat

[Perdition]

Well I'm a native ya know..lol. Only an hour north so I spent many days just "being" there and ..many great nights we well!!..A pleasure!!

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, Perdition... the Rappahannock River is very artistically designed and lingers in one's mind.
Fascinating that you are a Native. truly, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

that is so very nice Patricia I equate her with nature also I think I once told her so:) pretty pretty pretty

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Bunny... so Cool of you to review this birthday
greeting for Emmajoy. The fact she lives in the United Kingdom where so much poetry has been composed and now bound in books... must surely have added to the ambience of Emmajoy's fascinating talent. I am honored to have written "pretty" words for her gentleness. truly, Pat

[barleygirl]

I am so glad you RR'ed me, as it would've been a bummer to miss this amazing tribute to one of my favorite poets at the cafe! Everyone's favorite! You have given this poem the essence of the fluttering Emmajoy softness, yet it's also fully your own voice, as you observe nature in bold strokes. There's something about the handle "Emmajoy" that resonates with "hummingbird" -- plus the fluttering strokes of her watercolor words -- I've always pictured a hummingbird when I think of her! That's why it's so perfectly central to your tribute! I love this (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... the fluttering strokes of her
watercolor words... expresses Emmajoy in her flights of syncopated romantic overtures. Your heart prints are the rose colored flowers iced on her birthday cake.... with candles aglow. truly, Pat
