A brilliant spark
Occupies the written word
But sometimes
Dense miasma
Stops by to muddy up
The tomes and odes
Settling on hushed manuscripts
Obscuring, then disappears

Funny what a little spark will do Jerry. Good one as always... and yes words are precious to a poet.

Gotta love those sparks. Can do away with the dark that cokes around, although even the dark can be made into interesting poetry, what say you, Mr. Poe? Thanks, Victoria, for your input.

I agree, well said, Jerry! What a wonderful means to express our emotions, in times of sunny skies, as well as stormy ones.

We have the best of both worlds, Margherita, whether we understand it or not. You said it best . . .
