Train whistle blows
long and lonesome
between these hills

Night glistens in rain tin symphony

Log splinters tipped in neon orange
Centers sizzle and burst open
smiling in ashen phrases of surrender

The wind occasionally picks up
and breathes round the outside walls
lifting and knocking shutters
playing the chimes in salida notes

With both wings wrapped in dove peace cooing

quilted I am upon you
into the lamplight of hoot eyes crying
to be free

just as free
as I am with you
in the midst of this cabin fever

rwood~

This is a fantastic write, with so many images....I enjoyed the passion that quietly lingered between the lines..

Tomorrow's another day
and I'm thirsty any way
so bring on the rain

Doesn’t sound like what is normally thought of as Cabin Fever, since I don’t think you wanted to get out, but Hot just the same.

This is a very mature write.  I really appreciate the way you have uniquely combined and blended your words to create pictures and moods.

it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

the sky is a bowl
of nearly eaten ceral
a cherrio floats
on too much milk
hoping to drown
but the milk is plastic

only her spoon eyes
can bring salvation

Regina,
With a fever like that...I'd stay home, willingly! Fun write.

(sigh) Sooooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, such gorgeous passion always drips from your quill and creates such gorgeous visions that have me daydreaming! (kiss on cheek) I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is such a beautiful poem that had me feel like I was sitting by the fire in the cabin! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Regina, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Cabin Fever??...Im thinking more like "Canned Heat"
Once again your imagery and phrasing are as impressive and fresh...
and the subtle sensuality that smoulders between the lines is always done to poetic perfection.
more superb poetry from that muse of yours...you know the one...that gives me a bad case of poet envy everytime I read.
