~*~ In mid of nite When all is still, A poet's hand Dost reach for quill. The words do flow From quiet mind, Mots of wisdom For all mankind. As if 'twere seen Thru' artist's eye, The poet's words Doth paint the sky. Ofttimes inspired By signs divine, His words endure 'Til end of time. ~*~ |

Linda, you said the way poets feel so well. I like the words you used, too. It was like reading one of the classical poems, and I love those. Thank you, Lady....  "Love makes the world go around" |

inkedgoddess ~ Exactly! I sometimes get a cosy feeling when I write at night. I think of all the other poets who may be writing instead of sleeping. Sometimes I even get an image of Nostradamus writing his quatrains by candlelight so long ago... ~ May poetry always be a part of who you are... Have a happy day! EA |

 (sigh) Oh Linda, I too am an insomniac poet, dearest friend, I write many of my best pieces late at night because I stay up till 3 A.M almost every night because of the nightmares and seizures and horrors I had in my childhood and so I know I must be acquainted with the night and stay up so I can overcome the fear! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Noah ~ I am a creature of the night!---and the day! I sleep very little! I do not want to waste a precious hour. I love the stillness of the night---it gives me clarity of thought and that is when I am at my most creative. ~ Reach for the furthest star and it shall be yours... Sweet dreams, Linda |
