"ANGEL FACE"

No likes yet ♦

While waiting for a friend in book
shop for coffee I looked at this magazine and jotted it down.

As I look into your beautiful face
The colours of your shawl light up
this place

The big brown eyes staring at me
maybe your thoughts are wandering
out to sea
of a loved one coming home to you

the delicate make up and the pert nose
no one knows where you have come from
looking like a mystic rose

or maybe you made the shawl
the pinks and mauves that are
interwoven
but chosen them to match
the flowers in the garden.

There is a sweet simplicity about this. One of your very best.

You need ´Pert´in line 8.

Quite magical, this one, Julie;-)

I agree with other comments - this has a lovely tone to it. A gentle sense sadness. Margot

Hi Julie. (-: CONGRATULATIONS :-)

This part was my favourite :

"As I look into your beautiful face
The colours of your shawl light up the
this place

The big brown eyes staring at me
maybe your thoughts are wandering
out to sea
of a loved one coming home to you"

Looking forward to more ;-)

Silver Spun Sand | June 20, 2009 - 23:47

Hi there, Julie;-) It's that smiley face again.

Glad you set things right with Angel Face and I hope you found a nice brooch. I've got one too. Got it on Amazon, actually:-)

As far as your question is concerned about the 'Forum' and 'Comments', I think your thanks should be in the 'Forum'.

Not sure what you mean about 'The Body'. But just guessing...in this kind of situation, it would probably mean 'the major part, the most important part of whatever it was you had written.

Hope this helps.

If not, try again. I'm here to listen and assist, if I can;-)

Silver Spun Sand | July 6, 2009 - 22:01

Julie, I am so pleased for you. That is fantastic. Never give up hope...I think this experience of yours teaches us.

Thank you for letting me know. I am over the moon;-)

This was a nicely descriptive poem. I think you've taken quite a journey, but it's worth the effort.
It was engaging and atmospheric !

Hi! jenny, just seen lovely comments
on my very very first poem. I was tickled pink!
Wow! again another lovley compliment,coming from
a good writer like you,love mysticical poems and
stories. Just lost all the comment to you. Tired hit
wrong keys, spell wrong,unyet I know mainly how to spell! Thanks so much for going back on my work!
I am thrilled when I see that and you have taken the time to read. As I put just now,went wrong! I was waiting for friend's in Border's coffe shop,one in
wheelchair now? And embarrassed sit on my own,all there,so picked up magazine lovely photo in, previous
AbcTaler 'Scribble' mentioned carrid pen,so jotted bit down,got home and read it was 'Jessica Rose' so
changed into the shawl she was wearing, and hence the title. It was my very very first cherry! I was so
overjoyed, especially,as my Ray drew one on,mucking about, then it appeared.
Well all being well off,to London weds:
Plus read not done anywhere long time!
Thankyou so much for reading this.
Have a good day.
julie xx
Are you going?

skinner_jennifer | January 16, 2012 - 10:40

Hi julie,

no sorry I won't beable to make it.
My partner works nights and there is no way I would
travel up on the train on my own at night, a bit to
old and nerves on my own as well.

But I hope it all goes well and really hope the
reading goes well, I'm sure you'll be great.

Take care.

Jenny.

Go on your much younger than me!
Have a good day.
