If on this Summer's evening


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!

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.

Bev said...

That's a lovely poem. And a beautiful accompanying picture.

Debi said...

I'm sure your beautiful poem and picture inspired me -- perhaps not even so subconsciously. Remember our shared poetry days?

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