I'm flush and full with season's sting
Entreaties lush with sights of Spring
Let's hit the road like Bob and Bing
And color the world as poems sing

safe inside
a silent space
sheltered from
a wilder race
that left behind
a bloody trace
trees without tongues
to solve the case
Janet Louise H.,
I absolutely LOVED that. Can't believe that wonderful poem came to your mind so quick. It is beautiful. I've copied it into my Word Perfect to enjoy later.
