Likewise I posted this in fantasy forum, zero reads so I brought it here:


Purple Passion

first breath of lilac
permeates the early dawn
promises passion
as we rise in purple air
dragons sing our soft desire

"We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.....the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?"

Very nicely done...I can see that you, unlike me, are well studied in the art of verse

You have some good work Hoot...Pepper, I don't recall ever seeing anything by you...do you write?

Beki...how I wish I had the talent to write...but alas I only have the talent to enjoy the wonders of the written word. My dear friend, Balladeer introduced me to this forum and for that I will always be grateful. I have found such pleasure in the incredible talent that is here.......
