along calm currents across silts of delta in brambles of grace lies absolute shelter cadence of chanteys lulling like crickets twilight sky widens lit with benevolence fair weather forecast decisions, discerning chivalrous shoring an anchor returning a bottled love letter in quixotic gesture ‘twixt music and poetry beauty is captured [This message has been edited by brneyedgrly (10-03-2009 10:50 PM).] |

I think each time I read your poetry I think that you are growing as a poet and a writer. You blow me away so often - and you did with this one. A |

Love the pitch and roll to this, and that love letter in a bottle makes for a wonderful read!! The horizon never looked so inviting, and is quite lovely through your eyes!! Hugs, you~ |

quote: It is fantastic in its whole, but still I wanted to quote the above, because it emanates the scent of great poetry so very intensely. Love, Margherita |

Dear Brown-eyed Beauty, "beauty is captured" in your quixotic poetry!  ~ A little poetic piece of perfection!!! Simply stated without an excess of superfluous words ~ yet grand in its message and ambiance... Love you, ss! Lindy Lou P.S. I had to look up "chanteys". I saw that it is another way of spelling "shanties" which is what I am familiar with. Aw, yes, the cadence of sailor songs! "Heave ho! Out we go ~ with the morning tide" (lyrics from one of my own sea shanties! lol) |

I read this because of the word, quixotic, in the title (knowing that anyone who would use that word in their work, had to be something that would surely be worth the reading. I fell in love with this write with these lines: "along calm currents across silts of delta in brambles of grace lies absolute shelter" I love how you intertwined the real with the surreal and made it all work so well. Very thoughtful and insightful write. |

Excellent read. In particular I was very captivated by "‘twixt music and poetry beauty is captured" Beautifully wrought. Namaste. Sutra 2: Reflection is not solely that which we see in the mirror of Now, but is also the contemplation of why that image is. |

What a cool write! It's one of those pieces that begs for a second and third reading. |
