But I can wile in subtle style The Eden of my mind, an Isle And lay me down in token seem The echoes of a broken dream Allow my wit my esprit And I’ll allow your disagree |

But I can wile in subtle style The Eden of my mind, an Isle And lay me down in token seem The echoes of a broken dream Dear Seymour, the whole poem is great, the above lines holds such intensity, that I wanted to quote it. Have a wonderful Sunday! Oh, as I have no new poem ready, I am happy that my 3000th post went on a thread of yours .... wow! Love, Margherita  |

I love this..... I am ignorant of the term "Samarkand", did you make it up, or is a fabled place? I like this stanza best, along with the ending.... "I’ve searched the sea repeatedly Served my term of agony Worn the beads to fragile thin Cannot find the truth of sin." enjoyed _________ice ><> |

You are so slick with your words. This one has a little different mood than I'm used to from you, but still with that ever-loved Sy-flow. Sadie |

Seymour, I, too, have noticed a change of mood in your poems. I think, in fact, that this change has brought with it a certain strength which I can't really define -- but this was a really great poem! lots of hugs, jo |
