QUIVERING ECHOES
8 October 2012

There was a voice
full of the cries of seabirds
and lilting laughter
like Christmas lights
and song as sweet and high
as larks fly
and a touch
on the teasing wind
in rushes
of to and fro
and she closed her eyes,
breathless.

Like the special touch you infused within the borders of this poem, Owl. Such a light, graceful touch you have.

Thanks, Kat.  Besides your replies, I also always enjoy your kitty-cat signature.

Thank you, Richy.  Your warm, kind words make me feel like a real poet and that feels good!  Love the pebbles in the stream!  

Thank you, Jerry, for your very kind words.
