Silhouette of slender theme The clouds in outstretched arms esteem Long hidden in the underbrush Of breeze succumb in timid hush Intimate appease compels The velvet touch of pine lapels Remarkable the floor of shade A music maker hums each blade There I preamble figures fair The dark blue Iris angel hair And lift my upturned hands to catch The spirit blown in tones to match I am the wind and too prevail Each sunset look through crimson veil For all of life should live in bonds Of canopy and dancing fronds That if the sun should sleep away Forgetting to rise up one day The soul to linger dreamtime state In silhouette of soft fern fate Copyright Kkh 07/10/05 |

"That if the sun should sleep away Forgetting to rise up one day The soul to linger dreamtime state In silhouette of soft fern fate" I know nothing of faeries, Kathleen, but if I were one...I think I would want you to be the poet choice of the faery people, because your sensitivity to the energy of plant life and nature and your eloquent way of relating that always makes me see things from an enchanted viewpoint.  ....jo |

Kathleen~ The title brought me into the beauty of this dance~ Having just taken a morning walk in the meadow, watching the wind playing fancy with the wild fern ... such a ballet it was~  I just HAD to add this photo I took, for your poetic voice gives it even greater beauty~ This is beautiful~ Thank you~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

OK Vern, or is it Fern? A small criti-cue for ya.... Forgetting to rise up one day This line has 8 syllables to it, but it does not flow like all of the other lines within the poem.... Wait, I said it to myself about 60 more times...it is starting to blend in better... sheesh! Love the poem, you paint beautifully, as alwaysk! |
