Actual poetry form is Pensee
stillness earth holds its breath while all of nature awakens there's a soft glow, dew kissed petals waiting for the sunrise

Gershon, I am not doing the form (Pensee means a thought or reflection. I think it is French) exactly as it should be done so read about it on the internet. I bet you could write some exactly to form and in a delightful way. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

So nice of you to visit, Bill. Texas is not far away but it has been on the news a great deal lately with some bad weather and other happenings. I hope all is well with you and your family now. Sara K

Sara B, I always loved mornings and had so much energy and was able to get a lot done. Now, it is an entirely different story. The evening was nice sleep slipped up and now I am awake too early. Sara K
