Winter twilight chill moon among rootless clouds bright dawn a Spring breeze parts the violets forest pond moon on the water Spring sun snow in retreat as each petal falls Spring passes morning star in every dewdrop lingering midnight in the arms of a crescent moon from the darkness into the darkness owl eyes silvering blossoms lost in blossoms Spring moon setting sun parting the mist to the far horizon moonlit forest path voices of water from the darkness painting wildflowers the rising sun the setting sun Summer heat wave upon wave angry stones cool Spring breeze seems to live in the grasses light of dawn early Spring peers through willows dragonflies still dancing for the crescent moon cool breeze through the Spring forest voices of dawn growing old the sound of raindrops Winter moon endless hills endless sky owl eyes over withered fields Winter moon few talents fewer dreams Winter seclusion Loneliness has few pleasures Winter twilight --- b. e. adams (2/28/15) |

This is very good, Bruce, You conjured up some very special couplings . . . such as . . . quote: ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Whoo! I've just read this through one time and I'll be going back and re-reading them. But I wanted to let you know how much I like these. Each one stands on its own. Such very good use of language. I admire your talent with this type of poetry. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
