Precious white

Missing image
, Yellow specks and flicks of flecks,
of shadowed soft cool dreams;
wishing wells of purple hues;
that pour in green eyed gleams;

Precious white of cotton cool;
shadow hues warm full,
streams and darkness hidden red;
murmured love seeped lull,

Yellow roses smiling bright;
wrapping full and round abound,
Dahlia whispers posed in thorns;
not a scream or shrill thorned sound,

Soft voice  see saws, grey green crow caws;
that frothy waves white wash collide,
Sweet-Pea Pea pods bare feet wee wobs,
supple sand texture, soothing; each long stride,

Merry Mina wrapped in colors;
blue green hues to touch and cool your feet;

Flower petals, in seashore daydreams;
to send in warm love, complete replete.

Author notes

I know it needs work, it could never be perfect enough for my Preciousest Sweetest pea, but well twas a spur of the moment and had to drop a thought off just so my Preciousest Sweetest Pea in all the shiny seven seas had something to read and smile, and just "know" that someone had warm fuzzy wistful loving longing thoughts for her   she is such the preciousest most purtee lovable huggable Pea, I hope your birthday and every other day for that matter has a thought of what a gift you are to this world, thank you so much Tamara for an excuse to write something mooshy sweetpea mushy to let Mina know she is so soooooooo very muches loved

    : Hi Joey. I got your message dated Oct.29. Yes, I am still around and go to the library here in Spokane now and then. I don't hear from Morrowind anymore. I guess Mina lost interest in me. Happy forthcoming Holiday season Joey. The Seahawks will have fun clobbering San Francisco tomorrow, huh?

      Ahhh I wouldn't take it personal my friend, she is a busy little Pea, that and her PC is always on the blink anymore. You know how it is, sometime some of us just kinda move along to find a little something else or are really preoccupied.... I am sure she thinks about you here and again, and I am sure you bring her a warm smile when she does Like I said you are certainly good people, and that is one of those things people never forget,
      God bless you and I hope your holidays turn out more joyful than you could ever imagine, and if not, well I hope you make it through in one piece and make us all smile with your outlook on them afterwards,
      Sincerely,
      Joe

    Without sounding as cliched as most people who comment, I wanted to say that this had brilliant imagery to it. I thoroughly enjoyed the intricacy in the way you weaved your words together to produce an emotionally beautiful piece. Well done here!

    Thank you for the compliment and for the compliment on the picture as well. I wasn't aware someone promoted this lovely little piece, one of the last things I wrote, to a very lovable person. Been a bit in a hole lately, wondering if I will ever write or take any pretty pictures for that matter, but to see someone poke in out of the blue makes me smile, and every smile is a smile closer to inspiration,
    Kindest regards,
    joe

    Hi, a very pretty poem with a lovely pic, one compliments the other, this write I liked very much it has a good feel and the flow is quite smooth, you put this in featured at a low 7 so I doubt if it was ever in the box on the right hand side, perhaps better to up the anti to 12 that way it will get there in the end, I just decided to have a look at all poems promoted and came accross this lovely write, all the best, hugs Di

    Hey Joey Dude how you been man? Listen, I don't know much about flowers. I might choose oleanders or something, so why don't you pretend you are John Smith and I'll pretend I am Myles Standish, and you send her some flowers for me, O.K.? How are things over in Seattle? I would move there from Spokane but I am a dumb person, and it would take me to long to find a safe low rent district. Be sure to tell Mina I am absolutely crazy about her John! O.K.? I gave you 7 points for this man, which is the number of peace!

    Why didn't I know about this contest for Mina?? Why did I not know about this poem you wrote for her??


    Geez I do stay away much too much


    I am going to tell you this Joe because I know you will take it in the high compliment it was meant. This poem almost had a Dr. Suess quality to it in your skill with the rhyme. Now mind you, this isn't silly like he gets, because this was dang pretty. It was the cleverly placed rhymes that made it that way for me.


    And I KNOW you will take that in the spirit I intend it because he is one of your favs, right??


    Ah, my Mina, she does inspire doesn't she?? If only I had known, I could have entered too. But of course I would have lost because of this poem right here


    This is precious Joe. Amazing writing. One of your best me thinks.

    Perfect In My Eyes!

    Your words are like raindrops sprinkled ever so softly upon the flower to help them grow, and bloom in colors ever so beautiful.
    Your writings put the art in heart, and I'm so happy to be able to call you friend!

    Best wishes in all you do, and may all your dreams come true, like your heart that comes shinning through and through!

    Your Bro, Timothy

    What a breathless collision of words and passion. A sponge soaking up all emotions that can possibly fit into the 26 letters of our language. Drinking in your words, I could barely breathe nor feel my legs and every SINGLE poem you write is like this. You understand? I can't get enough of it, It's like sweet lips in perky formation waiting there as you stare and floating on the air and WOW.

    Ahh, it doesn't need that much work. Maybe adding a few commas here and there would help out with the flow. I would also suggest putting the last 4 lines together instead of separating them since you have the other stanzas like this. Other than that, this was perfect, my dear. I absolutely loved it!
    Power to writing!
