I should step outside
and feel the damp of the night
and hear the rustle of the wind
I would look up and find your star
and see your smiling face
and your bright blue eyes
gazing back at me
If on this Summer's evening
I should step outside

Oh, beautiful! I envy all this facility with writing poetry. You really do write beautifully. Love it.
He's in Florida (such a hard life, poor him) but will be back in a couple of days. I'll hack into his blog in the meantime, and let you know what we can mess up in there - are you with me? if not, I can always get Frances
Bobbie, your poem is the last thing I will read tonight before going to sleep...I don't want anything spoiling my mood after I have experienced such etheral beauty. You are the best!
Lovely poem, Bobbie - like the form as well.
Very nice, Bobby. Such talented people we have around here!
Are you playing tricks with my mind??? Or did you just add this resplendent moonscene?? Do you ever sleep, my dear? I am having so much fun seeing all the sides of your kind and creative self, Bobbie :)
Neda, I didn't think anyone would notice that I added this picture so you are very observant! This was an old photo that was blurry because it was taken in the evening in very low light and hand-held. I fixed up in Photoshop and I was rather pleased at how it came out with a few filters (which I forget all I did but I think it was cutout and dry brush mostly). I appreciate everyones encouragement and am having such a good time!
Oh Mom, I love this poem! I adore it! I am so glad to see a new work by you. I always enjoyed your poetry so much. Like your artwork, you have the most tender touch. It's wonderful and I love the image with it too.
Came to say - cheeky girl, uploading a pic afterwards... and found everyone had got there first. It is a really fitting picture, adds to the melancholy yearning of the poem.
That's a lovely poem. And a beautiful accompanying picture.
I'm sure your beautiful poem and picture inspired me -- perhaps not even so subconsciously. Remember our shared poetry days?
That is very beautiful!

Hey, Bobbie - did you change the frame around your header? or am I losing my eyesight again?
