Oh, Amy, I didn't Know you had Lost 10 Lbs; I had Read that this Particular Flu was Very Bad this Year. :( Bless your Heart.

Hi Amy, I heard you've been under the weather. Hope you are much better by now! Happy Birthday, Abe!

That rose graphic is beautiful, Kitty Mittens.
Thank you for it and especially for the prayers.

I don't remember ever feeling this sick with the flu before.
I'm praying that no one else gets it.

I think this might be a great time to start dieting. : ^ )

A Tribute to Amy, Marissa and all Friends of Poetry & Potpourri:


Between Darkness & Wonder
Carlos A. A. Pereira

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow’d to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

-- Lord Byron “She Walks in Beauty”

Crystalline Garden
Phil Geusebroek

The rising steam from a boiling kettle
Created a mist that cooled and settled
Ice crystals formed from the moisture
Upon a winter window pane of grandeur

Hot water was poured slowly into a teapot
Adorned with hand painted forget-me-nots
Teabags steeped freeing a hue of brown-red
As the iridescence of a pearl moon was shed

On fanciful crystals magically bursting forth
With sprays of sparkling frozen fireworks…
Others appeared as precious leaf-like gems
Growing on branches outward from stems

Translucent frosted glass diffused the night sky
Silhouetted trees were barely visible to the eye
Closely observing; exhaling with a puckered thaw
Warm breath made a portal through the frosty awe

Blowing snow was apparent through the peek hole
The comfort of a warm cup reassured and consoled

— Theresa Moore, 1/30/08

Louie/Max
Julie F.

I sit here waiting
for her to come home.
To make her day
To make my own.

I sit here waiting
the door will open soon
Hoping she will notice me
longing for her touch.

I sit here waiting
the time it goes so slow
Our time together passes
brief moments in a lifetime.

I sit here waiting
listening for the key
Missing her voice
hoping she misses me.

I sit here waiting
Tired she comes in
I run to her and wag my tail,
now our time begins.

— Caryn M. Suarez
