I would like to thank all my friends who have supported at passions, for your friendship and kindness I am eternally grateful.  

I tried to finish this poem but my muse has decided
to take some time out, so for some closure I am posting this.
===================================


The mist in permanence
Descends on parallel foliage
Of Oak, Ash and Sycamore;
Barren mothers of a thousand arms,
Offer no resistance against
The shrilling southern shore;
Carrion Rooks pillaging force.
Their Feathered thunder crashes
To mere whispers on my lips,
Tied together in strained reunion
With my bride of wild divorce.

The sum of the angles of that rectangle is too monstrous to contemplate!

Heck with the closure!  Sweet talk that muse and get yourself back here!  And if she won't listen to the sweet talk, then visit the archives and pleasure us with some treasured gems....

as for this?  Yet...another

I've seen muses come, and I've seen muses go, but I've never seen one divorced before. Looks like you put a lot of thought into the writing of this poem. Thanks for this deep thought tonight.

Hey Bri...long time, no...anything. Hugs.

Sigh - divorced muse eh? I doubt it...I think separation will prove to be more appropriate - you just wait and see, I am after all highly psychic (hahahaha)...

Hell, I myself am going through a very messy separation with my own muse, I'm attempting reconciliation tonight - the muse is off sulking while I'm in here, reading the result of other's interactions with their own muses...rotf...

poem is interesting...that's the word that came to mind, interesting...and kinda sad to me...

Hope all is well in the land of the animator...

big squishy smiles..

Sorry about the muse...I may have stole her. My own was missing for over a YEAR...until I happened by this place and was inspired by all the wonderful people in it... Gosh I REALLY hope that wasn't YOUR muse that came to help me..I'll just have to ask her. Believe me...if it IS she, I'll send her scampering right back home to you!!
Peace,love,light and happiness

brian...
your assonance is showing.
your alliteration is glowing.
your imagery's in symmetry.
your muse is flowing.

love it!

Brian,
a barren write but too beautiful to let disappear easily. I hope it is the same with your muse.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
