The cold click of metal Latched the window closed As the moist chambers of rain Fell into her daily write Her window seat clouded She was not disquieted The yawn of wet dawn Curled her upon her page Her favorite ink pen had emptied She cursed the feel of a new one Twirling it in her hair of thought Crossing her legs and flinging shoes The thought of her first seconds of wake Was the delivering scent of coffee How the nutty and bitter smell Made her rise from the darkest sleep This morning she tasted her daydream Her secret envy, her flavor of far And away..As the Bailey’s Was resting on the hardwood floor There she stirred inside her The wails of voices pure The folklore was always a lure From her padded paisley cushions She went out of body, scribing The coast of an Emerald Island There is where she kindled her Lugh The Riddle of the mist burning light She fevered the awakening of his skill Simultaneous master of love & craft On this, the water fell in sheets outside But for Bronte..her pen wrought the Sun |

Your pen flows here with words that have my head nodding in agreement. You capture the whole feeling of trying something new so well with the vision of this poem. I love it. I know these feelings and can relate. I really enjoy your poetry...it is so uniquely you. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

nicely written as usual... You do not need me to tell you that you capture quite well the scene and the thoughts, blending them into an experience for the reader. Your style so often allows the reader inside and at the same time gives them the freedom to draw from your words those things that are very personal to them... you don't need me to tell you... but I did... Warm thoughts to you this rainy day... |

Regina, I don't know why it is that your words move me so much, but they always do. You have this way of putting words to ink that just amazes and bewilders me. I can't imagine what it would be like around here without sharing some of your warmth each day. Thank you for a truly incredible read. Hugs and more hugs. On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. ~Me~ (I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance~Garth) [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (edited 10-15-2001).] |

What a lovely piece. The words flow beautifully from your pen as always. I can just picture the scene you described If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

It is such a treat to come in and find one of your works as I know that I will be in for a little spoiling of the soul and mind. Wonderfully written and so well penned. The flow was smooth and superb and the verses meld wonderfully. What a great way to present the topic too. I applaud you and I sincerely hope that I will get to enjoy your works more often soon. Work does get in the way these days. BTW.......LOVE the new photo as well. |
