 Assuredly I A shadow yet not lit from without a canopy upon a screen answers to the knock of light and eye or even I open the door for grace of breeze to make dancers out of just plain leaves Lit from within I see the frame of face turning turning twirl some music discovers my name It carries pulse explodes the quiet opens the joy of hair to shine hears the tender and the curse the fabric of this screen cannot be destroyed It bears words oh words the lovely sound of light and dark they take the intent and make it tears they try out loud a laugh and they can break on the altar scatter sharp or defuse the passion and the skin in magic just sings along knowing not but loving just the same the heat that words can thus ordain Loose they follow any whim move up the curves without or within and a face so dimpled by a voice charms interpretations choice and eye assuredly I open the door |

I wondered if you see what I see in that shadow Martie? Beautiful poem but very interesting shadow that one. |

I love a poem that grows in the writing, and becomes more than the poet ever intended at the start....and this feels like such a poem. Well done, dear lady, well done. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

What a wonderful write, Martie. You are most decidedly a gifted poet and the lady in shadow is most assuredly the angel in you. |

It bears words oh words the lovely sound of light and dark they take the intent and make it tears they try out loud a laugh ~*~ You've inspired me, Lady. |

Two steps beyond infinate wonder, that is where your words take the reader. There is never a point of stress, where should the scenerio go. Just an assured flow of astounding visual. Sandra |

I see many things within the shadows created...all add to the mystique of a lady we all call "Martie"....our friend. |

Martie, The driving images of shadow and light, I have burned in my memory, and have been striving to describe how meaningful they are to me, especially since I've been trying to become somewhat skilled in art. Matter-of-fact, I coined a line this morning about that very thing, but have yet not drilled the hole from which the poem will emerge. It was just a itsy part of nature that I'm figuring out. The depth of YOUR insight, just amazes me! Always good to read your poetry! OH yes, I loved your subtle play on words... miscellanea |
