Reading Poetry Surcease is sitting with my niece Reading lines the poet’s lease. Lines that shuttle wave on wave To gentle hearts in subtle rave When read aloud they fill the bare And send soft music through the air. Sooth the ach of lonely feel And make the loneliness to heal. Made of strings a harp of words Turns into a flock of birds Sets the trees with dancing leaves Weaves my thoughts back to naïve. Sings to me a lullaby Makes my heavy heart to sigh. Lifts me up into the clouds Covers me a golden shroud. Perhaps to you a scrip of lease To me a wine that sips of peace. |

I've discovered I can read it so much better than I can write it....(I'm sure you and Balladeer and many others agree)... |

I wish to sip and savor your every rhyme sublime ... chapter and verse Champagne ... time's finest wine. I'll inhale each invigorating, intoxicating line ... a bouquet of poetic Chardonnay that goes down fine. Your words are a verdant vineyard ... effervescent and sweet ... grapes of truth and wisdom ... an Eden elite in which to retreat. ~~~ *winkiewinkie*  |

Seymour darling heart I love it love it love it utterly. Loud bravo’s coming from the front stalls here darling heart, and shouts of encore encore. If I were wine would you imbibe me? Sipping me slowly and delicately Would my bouquet waft through you Teasing your senses then flowing through Would you feel the warmth of wine’s kiss? Flowing over your tongue in tasteful bliss I love this poem from you darling man it is utterly perfect, as always your writing is something special and I love it utterly utterly. Another absolutely perfect poem from the maestro of poetic music. And these lines of yours are exceptional, you really are a wonderful poet, and a fabulous friend  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Fun, isn't it? When we have the moments to sit and share poetry with another... I did that today when I wrote/read a poem that I gave to a friend at his birthday.. We all enjoyed that moment...I am sure, as much as you did your own.. |
