  Wild-orphan Moon

Under a wild-orphan
  moon,
these twilight woods
encroach upon
an unused path,
and forgotten cabin
that creaks and leans
with every whim of
the winter wind.
What fine-begotten
bygone dreams and
beholden promises
escaped this empty
cold-stone hearth
and window…
what fate befell
the dreamers?

   ---b. e. adams (3/4/08)

I hope anyone who reads this will also peruse

Huan Yi's:  "Izumi Shikibu":

Bruce, IWIHWT ~ I wish I had written that!

I know exactly what you mean! ~ I have experienced similar settings and had similar thoughts. ~ A masterful job of writing!



I am such a big fan of your poetry and always enjoy the view through your poetic eyes, heart, and mind.

life, from beginning  to end, there is beauty and there is sadness and there is beauty in sadness too.
Wonderful poem.

Secondhanddreampoet,

Yes indeed, what fate befell the dreamers.  It's really hard to tell, however, one can hope for the best.

I really, really enjoyed this poem. It spoke of memories and it did so in simple, yet living words.

I thought it was fabulous!

I tried several times to post a reply to this poem when my computer was misbehaving. It's a lovely write, and I especially like the last few lines.
