Meditation Two William Haskins Nights rise and fall Like her sleeping breast When the moon is a candle of secrets; Time is the pause That occurs between breaths When the quiet mind conjures its demons. more at http://www.ionstorm.com/public/haskins/inner_sanctum.htm |

All righty, Haskins... I've read this a couple of times now.. For a poem of only six lines, I count, in order: 1) personification, 2) simile, 3) metaphor, 4) metaphor, 5) personification, and 6) yet another personification... So, you couldn't fit much more imagery into this one if you tried... WELCOME ABOARD, my poetic friend... I can't wait for the encore!!!  ------------------ Nan's Morsels netpoets.net/nan/index.html |

Thank you. I am interested in the compression of language; conveying a thought or evoking an image in as few words as possible. I believe that there is a metaphorical parallel between the compression of atoms and the compression of language-- both have the potential to release enormous energy... -Haskins |
