Turning on a Tap
August 1998

In the dimlit stableyard,
wind shattered the column of water
trying to flow from the tap.
Moon caught the broken column and its scattered droplets
in a dazzling display.
Wind and moon and water
danced for me
and a stablecat
one moment
on a blustery winter night.

Thank you very much for the welcome, for the comments and for reading my poem, Greeneyes, Susan Caldwall, Bernie, Earth Angel, Kaoru (love your name! It’s so musical), Dark Stranger, Courage2Survive and Marge Tindal.  I feel very welcome already!  Thanks, Greeneyes, I did get the card, as you will know by now as I replied to your email.

Thanks Magnus and Martie for your enjoyment and appreciation of my poem.  I love your smilie, planting flowers, Martie (perhaps I have mis-interpreted it - we always see what we want to and are most interested in and I love gardens and gardening).  Magnus, sorry about the duplication of my reply to your When the Owl Flies.  I have asked Greeneyes to remove one of them.

I can learn something from this poem of yours.  How to capture a moment in time and put it into words that will last forever.
