A Gathering StormWhipping, cresting, howling winds bring my senses high if not for words to linger in the night would draw thee nigh But what of wind and beating rain and what of currents whirring and what of eyes and heightened heart upon impassioned stirring For sonnets singing serenades and verses ripe with breathing Pray guide me with your stroking pen and bid me share this evening For whispered verse to poet's ear 'gainst skin of sweetened cream spills, warming, light to darkened night, intoxicating dream  Claire[This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 04-21-2000).] |

Beautiful, with truly lovely imagery, Meadowmuse.  *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

That was a beautiful piece. Very in depth, and I enjoyed it very much! "It is in our aloneness that we recognize our oneness, even as the single droplet of water knows also that it is the sea."Daniel *Cassie Roseen* |

Claire, I do believe that you have been inspired. . .and this is proof of that. . . I especially love the line, "For whispered verse to poet's ear 'gainst skin of sweetened cream spills, warming, light to darkened night, intoxicating dream" This was just wonderful. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Danny, thank you. The title was the only thing I gave this piece. The rest wrote itself. Corinne, I'm glad the sensuality came through in this...thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it. Mike, we need not intellectualize my work, my friend. I just write by "feel"... Martie, thanks. You always say the kindest things. Denise, I know of no other place that I would rather share them. Thank you, in earnest, for your gracious response. Krista, thank you so much...knowing you enjoy my work gives me such a smile. Dawn Eclipse, thank you for reading this, and for letting me know you enjoyed it. Sven, I'm awfully glad you liked this...thank you. ~ Claire |

Whew ... heart is slowing down now ... Sweeping and exhilarating, Madame Claire -- you truly have created art with words here! This had many great moments, but were I to choose my favorite, it would have to be: "...verses ripe with breathing ..." Truly enjoyable, thank you ... --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

Oh, Claire...as always, you fill me with "poet envy" - but you do it with such beauty, that I really don't mind! Another masterpiece, my friend!  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

I feel as if I've been transported to a different place and time! IF that's not what poetry's about, then I don't know what is! Jason |
