A Poet's EveSoft folded soundings entice me to write like the lingering breath of the new restless night. In the shelter of shadow I'm finding my place as evening coquettes 'pon the daylight's erase. Into twilight I step o'er the threshold of day minding, gingerly, footfalls of sunset's display. Mingled low, overhead, with a brilliance afire with cicada accompaniment, euphonious choir. And as I take pen in hand, inspirations begin their sweet settling eve over sesame skin.  Claire |

This is beautiful Claire... I still write the odd poem while sitting out with mother nature ...but mostly now I just write as I sit at the computer ... Guess I don't need as much inspiration to write knee slappers as I do to write something worthwhile Rex}>{{{{o> |

Incredibly lovely Claire. I especially loved the lines:" Mingled low, overhead, with a brilliance afire with cicada accompaniment, euphonious choir." Such beauty. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

Claire, what a wonderful poem! I must beg to differ with you, though...I don't think that "With Pen In Hand" is any lovelier than this. You definitely have poetry in your soul! My favorite lines are "Into twilight I step o'er the threshold of day minding, gingerly, footfalls of sunset's display." Powerful imagery, wonderful expression - keep up the good work!
