Distraction's DrumArising forth from 'cross the glen comes low the sweetened sapphire song of the poet whose words from marbeled pen endure the day, and the night, prolong. With sonnet's sense of lyrical thrum his cadence calls and, drawing nigh, is placed, anew, distraction's drum to induce with ease, a muse's reply. As kisses now fall upon the throat of one with music placed into her voice, and from his lips, spills a poetic quote, intuition allowing his tender choice. An honest ache, time's toll revealed as fingers find the treasures there and trace the tiny locket, sealed and mingled, moist, in heathered hair.  Claire |

Incredible Claire! You indeed have a rare and glorious talent. Your words flow with stunning beauty and grace. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Simply put, stunning. Was trying to come up with the right word to describe my reaction to this wonderful verse. Couldn't decide between entranced or enraptured. Thank you for letting us share in your talent. |

Marge, thank you so much for your gracious words about this poem...and you are very much appreciated as well. Hi Rex, so glad you liked this...thank you for reading it (and for the smile) Poet deVine, just that you took time to read and let me know is the best response, to my way of thinking. Thank you, very much! Balladeer, I had a little inspiration with the title, to be sure. Thank you for reading. Serenity, I'm glad you read and enjoyed it...thank you! JML, I certainly appreciate your WOW's. Glad you liked this one and its title. Distraction is an inspiring sensation, at times. Thank you. ~ Claire |
