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...

Happy Birthday, dear Emmajoy! What a lovely tribute you have written for her, Pat. Emma is like the sweet taste of apples, no doubt about it. She always brings us warm and emotional poetry....much as you do, Pat. Lovely! Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lydia... so sweet you could join our celebration as Em is tending English Roses across the Pond. Gathering Apples and planting seeds of kindness. truly, Pat

[Cherrie]

Love love the title, and the gentle flowing tribute.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cherrie.. you re so gentle and sweet. I loved
writing this poem for Emmajoy. It flowed naturally, because she is a sweetheart of a poet and a very
romantic English poet... and I mean romantic in a sense of being kind and dear to everyone. thanks for your sentimental review. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Oh my goodness, just been told by another sweet friend, that you'd written this for me. Apart for tearing up, I'm smiling ear to ear.. Thank you doesn't seem enough, dear Pat, but tis felt and sent with absolute sincerity, dear lady. (Patricia)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... it was serendipity that I should pen these lines for you. I love read the admiration in poets reviews... the gentle touch like the silver fin on a gold fish across the pond. The day time may be different for you, however, you are timeless. Happy Birthday and many more. Love and best wishes, Pat

[emmajoy]

Am still awake in the early hours of Sunday, trying wind down but, it just isn't happening. The day began in such a magical way, continued on with smiles and kindness.. Selfish of me perhaps, but I want to bathe in my emotions just a while longer. Your words have so delighted me. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

Poetry can be so comforting... like bathing in a waterfall of emotions. May you have a day of rest where Angels spread their wings to shade you from the brightness of sun beams through soft green leaves of blessings. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Dear you.. you've just written another poem. Blessings galore and grins wrapping them round. xx Must, must try to sleep now...zzzz !

[Patricia Wedel]

I should mention that Em may have a Horse who could be named Wayward Wind...
and Em could be a horse whisperer, among all her talents. I can picture her riding
her horse through Valleys green and stopping to rest under an Apple tree. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Pat, for allowing those of us who know you both, to acknowledge the love and adulation we feel for Em as a poet and a friend. This is going to thrill her beyond words! Happy Birthday, Em!

Love,
Kelly

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... it is luck I happened to see a past note that today is her birthday. I see other poets also remembered her birthday with wishes for her. I tried to show her tenderness in all her poems. Love, Pat
