Strings

Imagine words like soft and soothe,
And honey,
Not when sweet on toast,
But smooth as when it clings to spoons
From warm, revolving tea removed.
Close your eyes and think of grooves
That calmly from the center vary
Not at all,
Then wander as the music moves
Deeper,
Deeper,
Till you recall
The wonder of the ordinary.

You manage this so...effortlessly...or did it help that I had a violin playing in the background?

I shall turn off the music, and come back to listen, again...

well done Sir...

welcome home.

Ripple effect ... and not the wine

You are certainly no ordinary poet my friend.
I am Semper Fi to your work.

I almost feel bathed in honey after reading this dear sir...keep the bears away!

With Lady in White's L's and your honey curls in swirls into warm tea, the chill of this morning is ever more important, for were it hot these things would not hit the spot.

So good to see a snippet of you now and then. I hope, since I saw a "Welcome Home" that it means you've been on vacation and we get to see more of you again for awhile.
