Silver Threads

Once upon a midnights bed
I watched the brightest moonlight thread.
Weave across my blankets pour
A silver thread in search of more

It crept across the bumps and dips
Caught me at my finger tips
And when it touched it felt like jell
And I was caught in moonlights spell

It willowed me as if in dream
And out the window I did stream
A finite on the meadows ground
With twilight magic dancing round

Where shadows swayed in weightless Vail
And silver leaves on wind set sail
It damp my pillow wet with leak.
As tears of brine flowed down my cheek

And butterflies flew round my head
Till I did join this joy in wed

Very beautiful. Moonbeams are a wonderful thing, and your writing suits them.

Stinkylove...you are my prince of imagery
this is so lovely..it sparkles with your rhymes divine and dances like moonbeams on water with your cadence..and the imagery is dipped in silver star dust. Youve penned a masterpice to print out and put with the picture above....its one of my most fave pics I found on the internet...its also my screen saver and I have a poster of it..now I have a poem to put with it that matches its wonderlust.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Seymour darling boy, you are an enchanter of the moonbeams trace, and keeper of the nights magic this is utterly perfect the simplicity the elegance and the grace this is written with is perfectly delicious, and I love it utterly but you knew that didn’t you. Wonderful writing as always.

This has lines that are spun with dreams light into a cloth of wonder, it lays over the soul like a gown of delight. A wonderful truly exceptional piece of writing.

Yes I love it, I love it utterly utterly. Didn’t you like the little poem I scribbled for you? I thought it might flutter you into nights delight, I suppose I’ll just have to see if I can spin another but I haven’t got your skill darling boy But at least I tried to do you justice love.

Your writing however is perfect and this is utterly utterly elegant and spun light


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Seymour darling boy now who flatters whom, calling me Marge is flattery indeed. If I could write like her I would be in heaven. However that’s not going to happen so I’ll continue to read you and her and hope I acquire some skill by a form of osmosis.

I really did love this one Seymour darling boy it is special

Seymour hi there, don’t worry about calling mum Margie she would have been honoured. Flattery indeed, mum can’t write even half so well

This is wonderful writing, I love the words in this they are excellent.

Sorry I’ve not been in here for a little while I’ve had some very odd shift times. However I’ve had mum print out your daily delights and so I have had your wonderful work to hand. It’s good for mum to work so don’t feel sorry for her she and Krissy should suffer a little They after all are off to the U.S. those of us who are the workers have to stay behind. I hope you all have a great time, and that you miss me terribly.

lots of love
Emma

You were caught in dream or spell
And wrote of it so very well...
The thoughts that came to you in night
Begat this poem - it's a delight!

Excellent work, Seymour... I enjoyed very much!

This is pure magic, sy

It willowed me as if in dream
And out the window I did stream
A finite on the meadows ground
With twilight magic dancing round

Something we all need more of...

Oh my!  I do believe this one is now my absolute favorite, but it also reminded me of a friend of mine for some reason, so it became extra special.  As a matter of fact it not only reminded me of Willow but also you and Isabel, so I will send a big hug your way for this lovely poem.

There is nothing means more to me than
my faith, my family and my friends.
