Once upon an evening chilling, as I sat there slowly warming
with a spirit that was willing, all my toes and nothing more
Come to me a phone a ringing, of an angel in her singing
singing words so enchanting, exciting at my bedroom door

Tis a beauty comes a calling, in softness her words feeling
taking heart a flutt’ring, falling.. flutt’ring, falling, nothing more
But, alas I did so telling, of those words so sweet, compelling
miss the ring of my phone belling, telling of the call before

Twas the call from within memory, of a time from in a century
when a string and can were saying, Watson, come, unlock the door
For the call was taken to history, now a part of telephonic mystery
and the phone rings incessantly, asking for the lost Lenore

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

Ok, so Poe is sitting here with me, nodding his head, saying "Yes, by Jove, I think he's got it!" [Sorry, Mr. Shaw, for the borrowing of Pygmalion...] where was I...oh yes. Poe is nodding his head, knowing that if phones had been around, well...just to say, HE is saying, IWIHWT....

Magnus hi there again this is what I call writing, the rhythm the rhyme the internal flow are as smooth as water over glass. Absolutely exquisite writing, I wish I could write like this, however I know I never will so I won’t wish for what I know won’t occur.  Very well done, I really do love your work


Love and warm stuff
As always

WOW!!! Oh Barry, I just love the kind of selective borrowing you put into this, sweet friend, how you gave a classic a modern twist just like the movie O' Brother, Where Art Thou was a modernized version of Homer's The Odyssey! (big hugggssssss) You are growing so rapidly as a fine poet, sweet friedn, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
