Whispered Rains ~*Marge Tindal*~ Morning mist reflectively adorned reclines atop water-smoothed pebbles Whispering rains cascade the leaves dripping secrets to the bark Spirit of water maiden seeps over stone whispering whispering Draping her mist across boulders of strength clinging to not-so-subtle shapes whispering whispering on her descent into chambered valleys Waking suggestions rising to begin the diaphanous dance of whispered rains ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Whispering rains cascade the leaves dripping secrets to the bark Spirit of water maiden seeps over stone whispering whispering Draping her mist across boulders of strength clinging to not-so-subtle shapes Marge-how do you do it. I want to have a look at that ink well of yours. I believe it is the one missing from Merlin's den.LOL You have penned another magical piece and I absolutely adore the flow of this.(NO PUN)  |

Draping her mist across boulders of strength clinging to not-so-subtle shapes whispering whispering on her descent into chambered valleys Waking suggestions rising to begin the diaphanous dance of whispered rains ...... Wonderfully delightful, Marge.... Enjoyed each word of it... regards, sudhir |

Hi Marge Enjoyed this, but my fav image was "cascade the leaves dripping secrets to the bark" "Life is like music; it must be composed by ear, feeling, and instinct, not by rule."~ Samuel Butler ~ |

MarkB~ You don't need an engraved invitation to come take a peek into this little inkwell .. Would that be 'inky-dipping'? Or 'inky-peeking'? (bluh ... say that three times ... fast)  Thanks, my friend. Sudhir~ So very, very glad you enjoyed it. Sunny1~ Glad you took time to 'listen' ... what a peaceful sound. Tess~ Mine too ! Thank you so much. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

"Waking suggestions rising to begin the diaphanous dance of whispered rains" Marge, I love the elemental, moist feel of this... Lovely writing, my friend!~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Marge~ Liked this very much. I can hear the sound of the rain as it gently caresses the earth. So soft and beautiful. You have captured it so well my friend. Great writing! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Marge...had you written nothing but the title for this one I wouldn't have been disappointed. Just the title in itself envoked such comforting and lovely images in my mind and the poem only added to those. "diaphanous dance".....oh, very, very nice What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compaired to what lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Loved this, beautifully portrayed. I could hear and feel the rain. Admitedly not difficult in rainy old England but, for once I could feel the gentle touch of it. |

Seymour~ I love your reply. Hoot~ I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. I have a tendency to miss you.  Hope all is well in your life, my friend. Devina~ My little friend .... all is well. Seeing your name in my mail box is like a fresh spring rain .... JOY ! RoseBud~ Thanks for taking a romp in the beauty of the mist. Beverley~ Thank you for the sweet reply. My son just returned from a three week trek in Manchester ... he can attest to the 'rain'. Florida is now getting it's fair share and more. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
