Dusk
It comes so suddenly
right after mauve
someone dumps charcoal into it
and stirs until just a small sun slips
cool
into night

You DO have a way with words.  
But, then, you always have.  That's why I read all you write

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

(smiles) Awwwwwww, this is soooooooo cute and artistic, sweet friend, it had me envisioning a tiny smiling speck of yellow tucking itself in sheets of glossy ebony, yay! (giggles) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Dusk catches
a moment's green eye
glimpsed into tomorrow
and falls silent

into a shroud
of dreams
come to be...

true.

Lovely, Martie.  I'd like to slip cool into night as well - just can't find the charcoal.

This taste makes me want to hear more.....there's much said within this little gem, and just between thee and me, I think it's the start of something much larger.

I can't wait to find out!

I hope you're right, Ed...I've been on the lookout for words, as you know...I'll keep up the good search!  Thank you friends, for replying!

To Keep up the Good Search


To begin on white
with some lopsided twisted thought
a calypso from the past perhaps
or the rock where I stubbed my toe
it is all like chicken scratches
numbering my thoughts click click
faster now they come like black birds
winged and mighty and dark dark

they sing across my la la la
in sharps that pierce my naked longing
and they discord too
rumble like the far left of piano
thunder trouble sad sound
and I listen as if to pick out a melody
that would explain

but I cannot tell you of dark hair
or of scarlet wishes
cannot march you into my cadence
so you can keep time
how can you keep time
I have been trying but my poem slips
and I am off in circles again
falling into rivers
even the waterfall hears me coming
and winks with sunlight for the joy
of tossing me about

Gentle is the wander when I float
on wings of garden roses
and prick my skin to feel the sun
fill up all my surfaces with surprise

and then today I lost my count
and I whispered to the soft air
where where is my lost thought
and it lay me down again
on this white page where I have clicked
my life and said
someday you will see
but for now you must
keep up the good search.

Hi Martie,

There's always a lot of impressionism in your poetry.  At its best, the level of honesty lets you put across some wonderful perspective.  Especially powerful here is your use of the word "someone," and the visual of "just a small sun" (as it would appear).

I have to wonder, do you paint?  Your writing makes it seem like you have the eyes of Claude Monet.

Always a pleasure to read you.  This goes into my library.

Brian
