Sketch Of Thought
~*Marge Tindal*~

Dark decline
of shadows fall
adumbrating in unison
down bedroom wall
Moving ... moving
stealth-like they come
Straining ... draining
until it's all done~
Then in heap
of shadowed keep
into the darkness
they creep
creep
creep~



adumbrate - AD-uhm-brayt, transitive verb

1. To give a sketchy or slight representation of, to outline.
2. To foreshadow in a vague way.
3. To suggest, indicate, or disclose partially.
3. To cast a shadow over, to shade, to obscure.



~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram

Awesome word.  I'll add it to my list. I'm not normally one for long responses, so here's me thought: wahahaha! In a good way, though.

I use www.dictionary.com Word Of The Day to jumpstart my writing.

Appreciate the replies~

Excellent poem, Marge. The language was perfect; you really conveyed a shadowy atmosphere... *hugs*

Where black, bleeding roses await the Thirteen,
I see not the stars, but the darkness between

My thanks to you, Venus, for digging in the archived back pages of PiP, bringing it forward for comments~

Sometimes seeing something of my past writes inspires me to do even more~

So ... I'll most likely see if I can find that little dark muse and let him/her splash in my ink-of-think for something fresh~

A very nice poem... Shadows and thoughts - an interesting juxtaposition... how they flit in the night... I also like the creep creep creep - it gives the poem an almost childlike innocence while simultaneously realising something profound...

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing, than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.
