The Lonely Hours by Annalise Brigham

Date: 12/2/2011 6:00:00 PM

The title of this poem struck a chord with me Annalise and then after reading your poem so short (echoing robert ball) I was intrigued by how much can be said in so few lines and words. Personally I prefer the "Less Is More" creed. The picture story you invoke is for me all to familiar. Thanks again for your comment on YO-SA-MITE and I hope to one day again... be so inspired to write a stanza where hymns play in the wind. (:D)) cr

I thank you, Clay for reading me...the picture that inspired those words spoke to me also. Still we must welcome each day with hope and an open heart. Wishing you lots of inspiration. : ) Annalise

I would love to hear from you, hon. I hope your trip is a vacation. It was 99 degrees here today so be sure to pack very light clothing. You won't be needing jeans, jackets or sweaters at all. My MRI is tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes. Won't get the report on the results until Monday or Tuesday. Love you, Carolyn

Sweet friend, I wish I'd known you were posting again. Your choka on Rick's picture evokes strong emotion -- solitude, loneliness, desire to be more than just a shadow. Congratulations on your win in Rick's great contest! Have the MRI approved for Thursday and will let you know how it goes. Love you, Carolyn

That picture which inspired "Lonely Hours" spoke volumes. I have to ask Rick where he got that. Looked like a rural setting at the end of the day when everything has been put away and all is peaceful and quiet. Love, Annalise
