She opened the dusty book where the wisdom of ages lay dreaming... awaiting a seeker. Pages of forgotten knowledge flickered like a candle on the altar of some unknown god and then burst into flame. The fire consuming the shadows and crackling with magick. Ida Werrett |

Snap, Crackle and Fire in the hole, Ida. Like the way you lull the reader into a sense of calmness and then pizazz! you sink the knife. When early morning quietness seeps into my being |

Wonderful, Ida. Makes me want to run down to our second hand book store but things to do that are so tiresome. Sigh! When I do get there, I will remember your words. Helen |

Thank you all for your kind comments. I haven't been writing much lately. I think my muse has been sleeping on the job. I hope to be more productive in the coming year. Actually, I wrote this poem about a book I bought from an old man at a swap meet when I was about fourteen years old. I still have it. Ida |

Don't you all just love it when someone like Coco (thank you, Coco) brings poetry to the top ... poetry that we have not seen for some time. I love that! Alison |
