Hi MariVal,
Oh how I love that I went searching for this gem!

This gogyohka poem drags me into its spell with the richness of metaphor and the imagery it creates in mind's eye.

To write what I loved about this poem suite would be just copying the entire poem... but I will say... your last line is just perfect!

Always a true pleasure and honour to read such quality art...
¡Eres un brillante creador de palabras que me conecta con mayores posibilidades y mundos mágicos de pensamiento ilimitado!

With our thoughts we create...
an unbreakable bond.

Warmest regards,
James.

    Hello, James,

    is always a pleasure to hear from you and read your beautiful and generous reviews. Your words are balm for my warry bones. I will keep this one for sad days to make me smile.

    Thank you for the six stars review ... the shiny stars are the icing on the cake.

    Me gusta mucho cuando me escribes en Espaňol, es muy bueno.

The streams do produce rainbow trout and they are so pink inside when you clean them. I like the images of your poem and the feeling of warmth in your poetic words.

Hi Gypsy, good descriptive writing. Your poem is filled with good alliteration and imagery. Of special note;

I dream about you
with flirtatious flaming passion --
rebelling against dawn

(I think the above lines are very relatable, especially rebelling against the dawn. I think at some point in most people's lives, dreamy flirtatious flaming passion makes them want to push the dawn away.)

I love the photo. Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

Another fine poem, Gypsy....and considering how warped I am it's probably a good thing I rarely remember my dreams, unless it's an extremely bizarre one

The trouble with the Dawn, and the only trouble I might add, is that some business needs to be addressed before the Dawn, and then we can greet the light of a new day, beautifully written, blessings Roy

This feels surreal and full of wonderful imagery. My favorite part was:
"I cast a rock of time into the creek
and watch it drown ... uncomplaining
with the heavy weight of being --
the flowing stream's susurrous (susurrus)
carry gurgling rainbow trouts (trout) somehow fish don't get pluralized
And I loved the phrase "edge of sleep" as it makes the intangible tangible! Beautiful!
