The Be of Not to Be

I am the knight of nights
It’s fantasy and flights
The rearrange of strange
Tumble weed of the range.

Star dust my sward of choice
The wind my ward of voice
And love me love me not
Is the pluck of my plot?
              
Osmotic in minds find
Exotic to the blind
Philosophic in stay
And then, I’m away.

Quick silver to the clutch
Evasive to the touch
Filled with mists lonely sigh
Lost to the real of eye.

I am a dream you see
The be of not to be.

Ahhhh, a mystical kind of trippy to be or not to be--enjoyed "be"-ing there

To be or not to be... well I would say that this is an unsual and interesting poem . A refreshing change. dx

You are the knight of nights, ever taking us away to dream a little while. So nice to get away for a moment in time.

Like this a great deal.

Warm, regards. Pat

===============================


COULD THIS POEM BE ANY COOLER????
what a delight of word play, rhyme banter and clever couplets.
YOU are too cool for school
The rearrange of strange

Star dust my sward of choice
The wind my ward of voice

And love me love me not
Is the pluck of my plot?



Aint no question of to be or not to be...
YOURE A POET and we all KNOW IT

JM,
Then this knight will ride again
Holding a dragons mane.
Watch for this chargings prim
He calls himself Randy of Whim.

I love this stanza and found the whole poem somewhat different that what you normally write. It was great and I enjoyed it so much.

Huggles to you, Marti

To be a bee or not to be?
"B" stands for Balladeer
He always tortures me.

There are some things
About them "Bees"
That few people know
Here's about "Bees"
That Toerag Sees
Here's how the story goes:

The bee is such a busy soul,
He has no time for birth control
That is why in times like these
There are so many "Son's of "B's"

Truly enjoyed the weaving of sounds and meanings. A fascinating piece, for sure! Favorite line..."Quicksilver of the clutch"

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Mr. T., you have intrigued me even more....

Your wit and whimsy do delight
You are the knight to fill my night
This dream of you is so much fun

This is so charming.... I really enjoyed reading these words.  I promise I had not seen it before I posted mine, but it sure goes well with it.  I almost called it Night of Knights *how strange*  

I guess our mind set was simular today
