Little Dreams A consortium of small dreams, short steps and soft themes Thoughts are chimes, keeping tempo with the times in memories fond Claw foot tub gathers, merry bubbles in its lathers, just there by the fire A cliché of candles perhaps for some other but for me, scented linen by the sea Still living in the same suit given on my birthday, time in silent parlay Did not make a wrinkle needing press, a smile embellished save undue stress Just an eyelash to flutter, eyelets may stutter their strings Little dreams have commenced of these things Great the lakes churn, swallowing winds in malleable turn Thoughts are chimes, keeping tempo with the times in memories fond Building dreams go to extremes, before the seasons change, found footing Giving back, geese ribbons slack and gather hosts of wings, return in springs My window on the world looks out on change, a map unfurled, the trees exchange their coats A line drawn in the sand, grows looser by my hand, distinct reflection and emotes Decisively, by heart and soul, a poets muse distills the toll and pays each compliment by sight Thoughts are chimes, keeping tempo with the lines, and fond the shift of seasons each delight Copyright Kkh 9/21/08 |

"cliché of candles" "living in the same suit given on my birthday" "Great the lakes churn" your reveal yourself to be a master wordsmith with these and other well-crafted phrases, enjoyed immensely...again |

This is different from you... there is a quiet urgency of tone...your poetry is always beautifully lyrically soothing, but this is...a..."wow". It's painfully exquisite, Kath.  I loved it from your first phrase: "A consortium of small dreams" If I found that written on a marble notebook, I'd steal it.  and I'd be a smart thief, too-- "time in silent parlay Did not make a wrinkle needing press" *shaking my head* We do indeed have a dubious muse of pain at times. This is just full of ...outstanding-ness. |

Kathleen~ To find this beauty in the mid-of-morn is a delight to me~ To see that my Sernity had written all I would have wanted to write is such a relief to me~ So very ponderously deep and lovely~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ Email - [email protected] |

Kathleen, I love the way you rhymed within the inner part of the poem. It's really beautiful. Was good reading you again. Hugs, Ethel |
