a summer's-day

the magpie's promise
to the vernal equinox
a summer of songs !
...........................
step into my day
like 'a mid summer night's dream'
'fill up my senses' !
......................
changes the idiom
one swallow makes a summer
your touch in winter !
.........................
is it the season
or your laughter that maketh
the carnations bloom ! ..
..........................

    This is by far my favorite!

    These are sumptuous. The image of laughter making flowers bloom captures my imagination. Beautiful!

    A rainbow of the senses; what welcome images in words. That third one connected with me.

    I ache to see the magpies. Alas, they don't dwell here -- winter or summer. But I heard them in your first.

    there is nothing so lovely as the scent of a carnation bloom... beautiful... on another note, just wanted to say thank you for your comments back there on the last OSI post of skin on my post of veil at first was thinking of the women in afganistan with the taliban and then i started reading more about the different types of veils for muslim women and the purpose and history... somehow it all became everything abt being a woman...
