Reading
Through the letters
And the briliant answers
I discover rictameters.
Longing to try this exciting new form
I knock on firmly closed door
Not gaining admittance.
I continue
Reading.

~Lady
Such soft phrases
Drip from ink in the well
Swelling with each stroke in penning
Falls on parchmented paper for all time
Grabbing hearts in poetic rhyme
All this, and maybe more
Poetic pour
Lady~

*I LOVE this format ... and they are a challenge~
Thank you for the inspiration~
