Fireflies and Buttercups A thousand fireflies light my night Shadowing phantoms to my sight. Buttercup beds and stars overhead Tie my thoughts with a golden thread. Greenery drinks the mirrored dew A mist hides faces from my view. And the moon shines a full round sail Shimmering down a ghostly pale. And the wind moves the leaves in space The boughs to bend and trees to brace The sound of night begins to ring The meadowlark is prone to sing. And fantasy holds hands with real To steal the hearts of those that feel. Heating the elements of dream To simmer, sound, sense and steam. A thousand fireflies light this store To a buttercup and daffodil door. |

"A thousand fireflies light my night Shadowing phantoms to my sight. Buttercup beds and stars overhead Tie my thoughts with a golden thread." The delicate rhymework and flow of your poetry always leaves me wonder-wounded and amazed when I read one of your poems. The visions created in this poem are beautiful. Enjoyed much.

Seymour you certainly have a poets way with words....... "Greenery drinks the mirrored view A mist hides faces from my view And the moon shines a full round sail Shimmering down a ghostly pale." What can I say written like a true poet...I like your approach ...no tedious ramble but crafted thoughts of beauty tastefully arranged in unique poetic language....good stuff my man ...write on!! |

Tie my thoughts with a golden thread. ======================= And the moon shines a full round sail Shimmering down a ghostly pale. And the wind moves the leaves in space The boughs to bend and trees to brace ======================== And fantasy holds hands with real To steal the hearts of those that feel. Heating the elements of dream To simmer, sound, sense and steam. A thousand fireflies light this store To a buttercup and daffodil door ========================= On this day Im grateful for so many things ... like the smile that reading your rhyme brings like the dance your cadence does with me like the contentment felt when drinking in your poetry. *********** my king of cool ... this one does rule ... *winkiewinkie*...with a wishbone *slinkielinkie*  me |

Long ago I pondered at the way you wander through light and stream and bring moonbeam to the day play me with your word let not a day go by that across the sky is seen the magic of your pen's stream when a poem is sung by Sy Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
