This Slivered Moon (reposted for Marge) I could see the slivered moon in the western sky resplendent and in the shadow thus displayed reverence spoke as purple iris knelt together petals folded and behind them in the bower sunflowers bowed like dolls with yellow hair tired from sunlight’s hold on watching. And then the magic evening breezes touched the sage and released such magic frog voices spilled from off the mountains across the canyon’s echoed chamber and stillness folded in my vision and brought me too complete delighting quenched the hunger of my spirit touched my moonlit face beguiling. Oh slivered moon with shadowed light dream me perfect in your drenching breeze this spirit with this loving touch of magic moving heaven beguile my skin to soft with light engorge my sleep with fragrant dream keep me in your quiet watch as day succumbs to nighttime’s peace. |

Seems that "sliver" is the word of the day...this is another beautiful sliver of writing I've found today... perhaps I have a sliver of a poem somewhere in the archives... LOL... Martie, you make me smile! As for the beachwalk? Yep...someday! |

Martie, This has to be one of my favorites of yours. Simply fantastic! So many, many lines I like such as: "Sunflowers bowed like dolls with yellow hair"...and I'd have to quote most of the poem to quote other lines I liked equally as well. Enjoy this greatly and reread for the pleasure of it. Hugs, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

i have to say that the first verse thingy is amazing ahh, the other two are nicely put and are a pleasure to read but the first makes it a superb poem. It took me a while to catch one, had all these pictures of hazy skies in my head, the shadow thing stuck and i was presuming badness but noooooo omg i miss summer evennings like that. where you could lie on the grass and catch the breeze. and ahh ive just read again, its a catchy one :P |

(smiles) Oh Martie, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I just love how you reflect the moonlight upon the sage and all the clusters of flowers seem to light the sky like fireflies and the sunflowers dance, yay! (kiss on cheek) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
