Velvet Hues of The Blues ~*Marge Tindal*~ When shadows fall across the sky I think of you and wonder why When memories come on days' descent I always wonder where you went When nighttime comes in velvet hues I wonder why it brings the blues But, oh I sing 'em - soft, low and long When the blues comes a'calling I sup of it's song As the night gives way to shadow when only memories matter I softly sing with blue recalling Oh, when the blues comes along ~*~ o ~*~ When shadows fall across the sky When memories come on days' descent When nighttime comes in velvet hues I wonder why it brings the blues When the blues comes a'calling I sup of it's song I softly sing with blue recalling Oh, when the blues comes along ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

MarkB~ I think I know what you mean ... That's just the way it came to me this afternoon as I was preparing lunch. Thanks for always making me feel good about what I write. *Squeezes from the heart* Eloise~ I'm so glad when you come to join me in song.  Claire~ I thank you. Neatest thing happened with this one - I sang it ... typed it - and found two poems staring at me. I'm glad you enjoyed it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Very mellow, just the right note to end my day here "A clay pot sitting in the sun will always be a clay pot. It has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become porcelain." --Mildred W. St |

Marge you're going to give Billy Holliday and Sarah Vaughn a run for their money with this beautiful work. I love the mood!.... you've captured the blues baby!! PS I was across the way and I read your.... The Cherokee Has Spoken My mind's still blown away by that poem... "The tears have fallen the deeds were done I cannot change the legends of time. When the freshwater pools are salted with tears, I'll know that this is where the cherokee died. Into the final longhouse I will enter with pride For where the Cherokee walked the trail I will surely reside." I get all choked up when I read this I just can't help myself...compelling truth Marge, just heart rending and loyal... |

I may be down your way...it's been a year of me wanting to, but a year of my fears holding me back...maybe this time... ~~soft smiles Maureen * just found my title for today's poem *s |

Marge~ I just love the blues!!! Your music comes through loud and clear here. Your song is in my head my friend. Nice writing here. You never cease to amaze me. 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 |

What more could I say except that this is just sooo good! God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |
