INDIGO LETTER
15 December 2011

Secrets bared through glass darkly
waft forest duets at dusk
to the guitar strings
of a melody of everlasting
mind wills ache
with dawn colours touching.

You covered it all with this six-liner. Internal combustible and nature darkly and with choice wordplay.

I love how the brevity of the poem, makes it so full and poignant and complex. It is a full sensory experience, reading your poetry.  I enjoyed this so much.

Thank you for reading, Jerry.  I have no idea what you are saying nor do I understand your interpretation, but it sure was interesting trying to do both.

Thank you, Nicole, for feeling and understanding essences of my poetry, even though it is obscure sometimes.

'forest duets at dusk'
and 'everlasting melodies ...
with dawn colours touching'

Love this---lyrical, almost Poe-like
But not as dreary

"mind wills ache
with dawn colours touching."

excellent
