blue feather found ... blue feather found in a snappy cracked spine tucked tight in a book of rhythms and rhymes marking its place for 70-odd years disturbed in its sleep awakening blue fears impressions left for others told when taken away from pages it holds of missing its time to remind the forgot of where it left off with nary a thought still it rests awaiting the queue for rise again readers to pick up anew i think it will stay among pages fast 'til my readings do catch blue feather at last M.A. Miller 10.06.00 My calling before me, let quill be my offering; For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive. M.A. |

and to think I've just re-found this little treasure... I love the feel of old books... and I'm glad you found the inspiration to write this... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

MAMiller~ What a treasure you've found. Not only the volume of poetry set ... but surely the blue feather. Fascinating. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

well shucks, like a lost feather, this treasure just needs to be found again... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
