Whim a Write

I take a chance to note this night
that and from everything of which I write
is of but dream from long ago
is of or about a whim that had slowed;

for I’ve been entrusted with several kind notes
and those who wrote sent blessings of things,
and lovely rings of circling friendship, light totes
sincerely true, and yet something needed wings.

For I write, even and then most when I dream.

I read. It amazes me, the powers that be,
of a writers’ stardom, grace, such royalty
and those near or far, of high or low bar,
those that read and then write, do so, faithfully.

Some escape to a painfully sky-filled room
with naught to hold but paper and pen;
when in silk some take a moment of ill repute,
to put thoughts to parched paper and then

tell the world not all is light, and then in a fright
they fear a void might come upon them;
but no, not to this reader, for I delight
in knowing when a writer comes forth, and then

I admire greatly in a deeper sense
of those who might write of a child’s delight
for I fear my own childhood muse
has taken his or her own great hike,

I wonder where I might stand in writing poetry,
as I sit with Poe & Twain, under mine own canopy.

Dear Karilea, I happily welcome your two new muses, they have a very blissful air about them and I can see through your words that they are aware of their task to bring you joy, as you bring it to them...  and to us!

Your sharings are always a special gift, your pen flows beautifully and elegantly, dear friend.

Love and hugs ... and caresses to the two lovely new p(o)ets!

Sunshine,

So beautiful - and your muses?  They are darling and I think reach out to us all.  Poe and Twain.  Wonderful.  My cat "Big Fat Boodha" wants to be renamed Twain now.  Yeah right.

Aha, your new muses Poe & Twain!
How absolutely adorable!

And this piece of writing is very very special indeed.

Hugs to you this late August eve..

Love you lady~
