Copper Moments brilliant they are shiny penny bright ~ pliable but lasting ~ takes me through the night copper memories were tapped out in lasting tribute from Dad’s hands in the silhouette of the copper dog’s face, my only bit of Dad he took hands of leather and crafted before I was a gleam in his eye, a shepherd dog’s head in copper craft and lended to it an awesome mask of old world and majestic scheme a sight of dream I was born and saw it adorn the room of my birth it gave me root and worth, and the copper gleam shone in moonbeam a light of awe, uncanny delight of orangeish fright when first the child was I ~ but father said “no, it just has a glow of life about it and you will not be in fright of it for it is I” & now it is a daily bit a treasure as I cast my eye on the eye of the dog and wonder aloud at my father’s artistic bent and wonder where the art went, perhaps a bit was left in my pen, do you reckon or not? 9 December 2000 Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kari, is it ever, utterly terrific, a wonderfully warm and beautiful piece from you. I love this one too, (My C A coming up, it's got a perfect form, the words fall like drops of rain refreshing the soul as they fall into it. It has artistry of a kind rarely seen it is superb and delightful. So hows that for C A  ) Can I have a Kari smile for effort at least. Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Karilea, a beautiful poem. especially loved the "it an awesome mask of old world and majestic scheme a sight of dream" piece. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

Mr. Yeats, I will always have my memories...woe to the person or circumstance that takes them away... Brian...so neat that you had time to visit this one...as I look back at this piece, I see that I captured, unintentionally, a bit of the shape of awl that my father use to use in his artwork...he had wonderful carpenter's hands...thank you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
