One Lonely Night Once upon a midnight thunder, Half asleep and mind in wonder. Charisma paint the night in rain, Rivulets on my window pane. Pirouettes fell the dark of sky, Plump and pure in crystals fly. Flamboyant in a winds display, As graceful as a played ballet. Ancient oceans lifted waters, Played upon an earthly daughter. Hypnotic patters wheel in grace, Covered the land, mantilla lace. Symphonic notes in bristly wonder. Magic strikes of light and thunder Mingled in my minds refrain. And purged it with the clean of rain. And half a smile lit my face. As blanket warmth held me in place. |

Sy, it is quiet here...cool, with barely a breeze...yet I feel the patter of rain upon my mind's roof....and smell the freshness of the cleansed air...through your words... Good Morning... |

Charisma paint the night in rain, Rivulets on my window pane. Pirouettes fell the dark of sky, Plump and pure in crystals fly. Flamboyant in a winds display, As graceful as a played ballet. Ancient oceans lifted waters, Played upon an earthly daughter. Hypnotic patters wheel in grace, Covered the land, mantilla lace. Symphonic notes in bristly wonder. Magic strikes of light and thunder ===================================== My master artist of imagery...this is the reason for poetry...How lovely is this... Pirouettes fell the dark of sky, Plump and pure in crystals fly. How poetically pretty. You are as consistantly impressive in your verse as is the rain. Thru an artists and poets eye you give us the view of you in rhymed hue. Ancient oceans lifted waters, Played upon an earthly daughter. Hypnotic patters wheel in grace, Covered the land, mantilla lace. and how cool can one verse be anyway ![]() Ancient oceans lifted waters that line alone is worth its weight in poetic gold... but then so it the poet that wrote it. Beautiful write of rain on the pane Stinkylove. *ww* ![]() ![]() If all the tear drops went to heaven |

Symphonic notes in bristly wonder. Magic strikes of light and thunder Mingled in my minds refrain. And purged it with the clean of rain. I love thunderstorms, Sy... and you orchestrated this one beautifully. ![]() Lyra |

Seymour~ 'Ancient oceans lifted waters, Played upon an earthly daughter. Hypnotic patters wheel in grace, Covered the land, mantilla lace.' I ALWAYS read you aloud ... and this is a beautiful exercise for everyone to follow~ Your thoughts roll off my tongue as easily as they drip from your quill~ You ARE September's poet-of-choice~ And you'll do any other month (Tee-Hee ... almost said 'moth') of the year too~ ![]() Love you fair poet~ *HUGS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

![]() (big hugggsssssss) Oh Seymour, this is beautiful with a soft yearning, I love it! (smiles) I understand how you feel because I yearn for my sweetheart Joanna so much and I cry missing her before bed yet in my dreams the blanket almost makes me feel her gentle touch! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Wonderfully lilting with a cozy message. There really is comfort in a gentle rain and a warm blanket. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
