Gray

There,
right here
This
smooth spot
in the wind
Between
wilting magnolias
and sad proverbs
I find
myself
Senses
coolly swept
as Autumn
Hung
gray
in paradox

Susie,

Love this, and have been trying for a while to frame a comment that followed the same scheme as "Gray" [it seemed a good idea at the time :-)] but have given up since you're much better at this than I am!

So, even though it's already the sixth, just...Happy New Year!

Oh, pish-posh! Mark, I can always count on you for the warmest comments, but you are quite a verbose writer yourself! I never seem to realize I have comments until it is much too late. My apologies.

It is a Happy New Year, indeed. How you been?

Good grief, don't apologise!

I never seem to realize I have comments until it is much too late.

I'm the same; I go for weeks, sometimes, before I remember I have e-mail, and stuff...

You are quite a verbose writer yourself!

Ha! That's certainly true, and perhaps the truest thing anyone's ever said about me [:-)]. I tend to have moments of mad enthusiasm, then moments of real life where I disappear for a bit. Heigh Ho!

How you been?

Pretty good, apart from some of the real life bits that needn't detain us here. I shall shortly return above...
