speak to me thru languages of noble trees
seducing flesh softly with feather fingers
vast sorrows seen with linking filters of blue
sealing eyes, stirring inducing, aching for you

You’re very welcome Joni! It’s always a pleasure.
Even before reading Terveen’s beautiful comment,(on Masticadores/India) I was thinking of your talent to combine Nature and sensual love.The woods hold a special place for you, Joni, in you life. I know this because I have read many of your poems, starting from your memories as a child and all the way through, Nature, especially forests, hold a magical and indelible place in your heart. You met the fairies in the woods, you met your lovers over the years there too. The raw vital feeling of earth and abundance, sparks your own passionate nature and your memories. This latest poem, is a beautiful example of all of this:) Much love to you Joni, Karima
Wow what a beautiful compliment, I am very connected to the woods. They were a sanctuary for me with family abuse was at its worse. You read me extremely well dearest Karima. Thank you for reading my work it means a lot to me, I am sending you my love, hugs and blessings for a wonderful rest of the week. Much love right back, Joni

Oh GOOD!!! I’m happy You like it!!! And no! No baking these days….it’s tooooooo hoooottttt. 🤣💕🍪🌻💝😊
I am in the eastern part of Washington State now where it looks like old cowboy and western movies. Only sagebrush grows. It is suppose to reach 103 my friend. How about your land? We can just put a roast out in a slow cooker and won’t need electricity. Stay cool. Sending lots of love your way Katydid. 🦋❤️🤗🐉🧚🏻❤️🦋🤗
Yes! I lived in Arizona for years so understand Your pain!!! 🤣 It’s just a permanent sauna here these days….the humidity index taking it up to triple digits…but hey….we’ll all have sweated out every toxin that ever even looked at us funny by fall!!! Stay cool indeed, beautiful JK!!! And….YEEEEEEE HAWWWWW! I love the west!!! 😃🐲❤️🧚🏽🤠🌵🌴😊
I did not know that my beautiful friend. Not surprised you live in a place filled with artist. Good place to be with the exception of the heat. It has a fascinating history. Big hugs and stay cool Katydid. 🦋❤️🤗💕🎈🌹💐
Cool?!! Whatever does that word mean?!! 🤣💕🌻💐🌻😊
I know I hope you are not too miserable Katydid. Big love and hugs to you sweetie. We got home two days ago and I am still tired. xoxoxox
Yay!!! Welcome home!!! And I’m fine, thank You! I hope You are getting lovely rest!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sweet heart. You are such a wonderful friend. I am trying. We got back and now have COVId but I think it is just the strain like the flu. We called the health department and you only have to be inside for five days and then you mask up after that for 10 days. They are treating it just like the flu now, these two new variance. We could use the dragons though Katydid. We have a lot of yard work to do can you send them this evening. Hope you’re staying nice and cool. Sending you my love and blessings to you always. Love you, Joni 🦋❤️🤗🐉🧚🏻🐉
Ah man!!! I know a few people who have caught the last strain. I’m so sorry! And yes….as You say it’s like the flu….but what a pain!!! Sending lots of Love! The fairies are flying in with tea and honey and the dragons say they’ll cover the yard work. They gave a firm P.S. when flying out the door that they will do their very best not to burn anything!!! 🤣 Sending You my Love and blessings right back!!! Love You!!! 🤗💐🧚🏽🐲💕😊
You are such a sweet heart, yesterday I took a turn for the worst. Temp elevated three degrees, I passed out on the way to the bathroom and scared my husband half to death. I am so weak too. So it is no small thing I haven’t been this sick in a long time. Thank you for sending the dragons and your love always beautiful Katydid. I am going in to see what your post from Sunday was, I always look forward to it. Love you sweetie. xoxoxoxoxo
OH MY GOSH!!! Goodness. JK. Is this perhaps too much post-surgery exertion married with heat? Are You ok? Is Scott ok? I am so sorry!!! My heart and prayers are with You. Sending You cool breezes and just the right amount of energy. I love You sweet JK. 🤗❤️🙏🏼💐💕🧚🏽😊
Thank you dear beautiful Katydid. You are very kind. We are both finally starting to get better. Thank you so much for your sweet prayers, breezes and energy. We are finally getting better. They say this new strain of Covid is like a slight flu, not the case. We have been vaccinated and boostered up. I am better dear Katydid. My temp is just up one degree and although I feel I am in a tunnel, I can tell I am on the home stretch. Be careful, they say that this strain may not be affected by vaccinations, etc., and I believe it. I am very grateful we got sick after the flight home instead of the flight there. We are just taking care of each other. Scott is strong but this kicked him pretty hard too. You are very sweet to ask about us dear sweet Katy. Your prayers are definitely working. Scott is just tired and has no appetite. Thank you for your friendship Katy. Sending you lots of love, hugs, and prayers for great happiness. xoxoxoxo
Goodness. I am so happy to hear that You are both taking such good care and that You are seeing the end of it!!! AND YES! SOOOO happy it happened on the way home and not the way there! Thank You for Your friendship as well, dear JK. I love You and am sending huge hugs and tons of Love Your way!!! AND YES! Prayers for great happiness! That’s a brilliant one!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much my dear friend Katydid. I appreciate your kindness alway. Thank you for your love and prayers. 🦋❤️🤗🐉🧚🏻🐉🧚🏻❤️🦋
Absolutely, Beautiful JK!!! I appreciate Your kindness always as well!!! 🤗❤️🦋🌻🎸💕😊
Always sending love to you dear Katydid. xoxoxo
Always sending it right back, sweet JK!!! 🤗❤️🙏🏼
Sending you lots of goodies. The fairies are coming and they have made lots of tiny fans. They wanted to help you stay cool. It also helps them fly faster. They will be there tonight. 🦋❤️
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Thank YOU!!! I’ve asked the coming full moon to please push the tides just that extra bit farther so they will create a breeze that soothes You and Your beloved beyond measure!!! She agreed…..so come tomorrow night it should reach Y’all!!! 💕💕💕
Thank you dearest Katy for your most treasured and sweet gift. Your latest painting is so gorgeous Katy. It was two people grabbing on to one another as they road the beauty to heaven. Love you sweet hearted Katydid. 🦋❤️🦋🐉🧚🏻🐉🧚🏻🐉🧚🏻🌹🌹
