the poet captures words runs them through the heart weaves them through the spirit walks them through cerebral passages applies them with sable brush upon amber parchment for all to glean caresses ©October 5, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thanks, EA, so happy you enjoyed...I'm changing the words "picks up" to "captures" I like it better and it still keeps with the syllable count. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Virginia, I love this! It's definitely a keeper. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Thanks all, and Nightshade...I didn't set out to write the form, the form happened as the words went on the page...I will admit, as I saw the shape arising, I tried to keep the last 3 lines within those parameters Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
