Ruby

  Ruby red, her troubled lips, Ruby red the blood that drips From troubled heart which, breaking, sighs; Loving even as it dies.

Ruby red, her troubled lips,

Ruby red the blood that drips

From troubled heart which, breaking, sighs;

Loving even as it dies.

      Thank you Amy! How are things in jolly old England??

      1. hutchagoodlife

        Getting colder but not too bad now! How about things where you are?

        Getting cooler at night but lovely with all the orange and yellow and red. I’m afraid one day soon the wind will blow, and everything will be stripped away to gray and brown. *sniff* 🙂

    Now that’s what I call a perfect poem Melody. What more can I say? Great post.

      I guess I can quit now that I have made it to the top?? hehe

  3. I HAVE A VOICE

    I just remembered a few lines that read, “I loved when I met you, and lived the few weeks you loved me.” A cherry-glint of remembrances ! Faithfully Debbie xo

    1. melodylowes

      Wow. Beautiful quote, Debbie! Cherry-glint indeed!

    Oh Ruby!

    1. melodylowes

      🙂 She’s a slow learner, what can I say?

    Oh, beautiful–and sad, of course. And I love what Debbie said–cherry glint really goes with the flower/plant. What is it, anyway??

    1. melodylowes

      It’s a barberry bush called ‘Royal Burgandy’. Pretty, no?

      1. Caddo

        WOW, yes! Barberry–never heard of it before–gosh, I love that we learn so much from you. Praying that school and life are going well for you, dear heart.

      2. melodylowes

        Aw, thanks. I could use those prayers banked up! Feeling tired and draggy with this cold… But – happy to have a camera again, and have snapped to my heart’s content this weekend, so no more waiting for visual inspiration!

      3. Caddo

        So sorry to hear you’re not 100%, but you’re in my nightly prayers–I never forget! Any chance we’ll have more sundial shots?? My fave, you know.

      4. melodylowes

        I’ve got some in the works, just for you. Maybe this week?…

      5. Caddo

        Yippeeeeee!!
