My daughter has recently discovered sandía, and your verse perfectly captures the sense experience of a nice slice of watermelon on a hot day. Thank you for the lovely poetry!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197591307149394913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-33731139314385586822011-05-17T06:30:39.533+02:002011-05-17T06:30:39.533+02:00Beautiful,just beautiful.Beautiful,just beautiful.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-36152540663078031952011-05-15T20:41:15.461+02:002011-05-15T20:41:15.461+02:00You had me at "golden trembling eggs" an...You had me at "golden trembling eggs" and never let go.

Each is magical, penetrating, and lovely in its own right. Together, however, the movements provide a breathtaking little symphony. This posting is so exquisite and so well-composed that I am reminded once again of the tiny painting of St. George and the Dragon by van der Weyden. The world, it seems, is strikingly more beautiful in it smaller forms. Have a lovely weekend.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-46697033961683393742011-05-13T22:22:33.006+02:002011-05-13T22:22:33.006+02:00Beautiful.

I don’t have to choose when I come to your Pillow, because you offer sensual symphonic encounters that convince me I can even smell lavender, even though you did not mention it at all. That’s alchemy.<br /><br />When I try to choose a favorite, I am drawn to the next, and the next and back to the start.
