(I am reposting this because that is just the way the moon was last night, again...and I couldn't write it better) This Slivered Moon I could see the slivered moon in the western sky resplendent and in the shadow thus displayed reverence spoke as purple iris knelt together petals folded and behind them in the bower sunflowers bowed like dolls with yellow hair tired from sunlight’s hold on watching. And then the magic evening breezes touched the sage and released such magic frog voices spilled from off the mountains across the canyon’s echoed chamber and stillness folded in my vision and brought me too complete delighting quenched the hunger of my spirit touched my moonlit face beguiling. Oh slivered moon with shadowed light dream me perfect in your drenching breeze this spirit with this loving touch of magic moving heaven beguile my skin to soft with light engorge my sleep with fragrant dream keep me in your quiet watch as day succumbs to nighttime’s peace. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

To see the world in your eyes is to see a taste of heaven in every breath. I normally save yours for last so that I can dream sweet dreams but I am sure I will be coming back anyway to this one. I love your vision and your softness with words. My favorite poet for sure and with all the talent in here that is not an easy task my friend. |

Would that I had your depth of vision - and the silvered words to pen them half so well - This could not be improved upon - it is how it is: most beautiful |

Yes, I do believe Ron should just create a "Repost In Forum #__" so all we have to do is "click" our perfections forward... Martie, I continue to aspire to write such as you do... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Martie~ Well, you know by now that it's one of my favorites of yours (like that's a LARGE order to fill) This one hangs on my phases-of-the-moon wall and reminds me of you constantly.  Love you - love your poetry ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Mark--this reply pleases me so much...thank you for being so you. Bill--You do have the words--your own words. Thanks for being so sweet! Karilea--that would be a great idea...and what a wonderful thing to say...I think maybe it should be the other way around. Janet--If you think of me in the slivered moon then you have made me happy...thanks Krista--thanks for always being so supportive and saying such sweet things. Marge--I know how much you liked this one...it is my Marge poem, along with the one about the old desk. [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 10-02-2000).] |
