Vast grey skies of weeping clouds
Blanketed the earth
Voluptuous
And ponderous

I 'love' trees. Very imaginative and captivating, this poem. How many beers did you have? bri : )
I guess it won't 'hurt' to read this again. Debbie, you were lonely? ? I wish I'd been with you. Were you drunk?
when you said: Voluptuous And ponderous As weighty as my heart...i thought this would be a '' poem. i'm glad i read it again. a wonderful poem, Debbie. if it isn't in MyPoemList yet, it will be SOON! ! ! BRI (:
i've reread the BEAUTIFUL poem, which i first read 3 years ago. at least i have a good enough reason this time for not remembering it. i mean i now sometimes can read a nice poem 'a few months ago' and still not recall lit. oh well, as long as i remember what i should about kitchens and bathrooms, AND don't get them mixed up, i guess i'm good! i also am reading my 3 year-old comment. i CAN'T figure out why i said there was a typo in the last line of stanza three. hmmm? ? and re furled. i think, if anything, i would have used unfurled in speaking of falling cones, because i would think of them as opened, not closed tight. hmm? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (thanks, Google!) : furl fərl/ verb past tense: furled; past participle: furled roll or fold up and secure neatly (a flag, sail, umbrella, or other piece of fabric) . he shouted to the crew to furl sails literary become rolled up; curl. the plant sends up cones of furled leaves - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - re my comment about biting fingers, you seem to have exchanged biting cold for 'biting fingers'. i like that much better! ;) and i am very enthused that you have offered it to me to used in January 2017's showcase for PH poets. AND I'll keep you in the loop! THANKS! ! any startling changes in the perfume world, OR spider world? ? bye for now, D. bri :) i'm assuming i sent this 'then' to MyPoemList. i'll send it now just in case i did not already. this is one of my all-time-FAVORITE non-humorous poems, even if i don't remember it in a few months! ! ! !
Thank you Bri! I appreciate your comments. I struggle with the word furl too, but it seems like the only one that would fit. Oh, and pine cones close up when they get wet or lay on damp soil and open when dry.
Gloomy isolation is the price one often pays for access to such enchanted scenery. Thank you very much for enduring that sensation to whisk me away to the strange comforts of my natural habitat. Extraordinary experience!
An old oak tree now beckoned To sit beneath her bows I huddled down Crouched at her feet As winds began to how.. lot of lovely images in this poem. it is very very poetic and very clear ideas. thank you very much. tony

Excellent imagery work. I enjoyed & loved this poem. Heartiest thanks dearest poet Beach Girl.
'broken limbs and hollowed logs sleeping pines weeping clouds Ice tipped wings of doves' captivated mind blowing images
use of imagery is definitely one of your strengths, this poem is so filled with it - and beautifully so I might add. There are so many points that I would like to point out and say that I love but then I'd just be copy/pasting the entire poem lol. Anyhow I'm adding this one to favorites. ^^
This is certainly one of your best! The title is so poetic! You have likened 'Vast grey skies of weeping clouds' to 'As weighty as my heart' - That's so wonderful! 'Then rustling, whirling, chattering leaves Spoke of tales and legends Of mysteries And memories Of dark and silent secrets' - Only a true poet can see and hear these! 10/10.
BG, hey that is the opposite of Goldheart Bird's initials! i loved the first two lines in the following stanza, but check for a typo in its last line. :) Sudden gusts woke sleeping pines Who whispered out my name Oh lonely one, With eyes of green Come stay a with us a while i confess i'm a bit befuddled by furled here. hmmm? i'm still not done reading the poem, but i have sent it to MyPoemList. i'm also not clear on the biting fingers but maybe some punctuation might help me. BUT (once again) i still like the poem very much. i'll even read it once again. thanks for sharing. some fine pictures you have painted with pen (or was it pencil....or just typed?) . i didn't even mind the absence of my beloved-rhyming. :) bri
So beautiful! Loved it Beach Girl. Forest with all its mysteries and beauties has all the pul that you feel and wrote about so eloquently. Thanks for sharing
Awesome! ! You wrote another poem that is as golden as your personality. I loved the descriptiveness and everything. It reminds me slightly of one of Goldheart's poems. She, however, left Poem Hunter.
Very nice poem. I especially liked the subtle rhyming of the last two stanzas.
