Fire Flies My mind is full of fireflies Sighs and dyes of colored skies And though I sit a rocking chair My mind is clear and well aware. The fireflies are phantom lights The winking is a wiles delight And I am dreaming in the noon Waiting the magic of the moon. For when the moon spins its web And when the tide begins to ebb Silver laces through the trees Angels dance upon the leaves. And I am caught in fantasy Caught within the ecstasy The buttercups and butterflies The loft and color of the sky I always stay a minute more Before I wake to infinite bore. |

Mr. Seymour, I love the way your words are flowing in this poem. When reading it, I almost felt like I was singing. I enjoyed it. Love makes the world go 'round (unkown) |

(smiles) Oh Seymour, I just love the way the words you write flitter like fireflies and sprites and reflect comely rhymes, this too reminded me of when I was a little boy chasing them! (sigh) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, you always illuminate these pages with fairy dust, 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..." |

For when the moon spins its web And when the tide begins to ebb Silver laces through the trees Angels dance upon the leaves. ===================================== could your imagery be any cooler????? and this will be my waaay cool line for the day... Sighs and dyes of colored skies as for these lines... And though I sit a rocking chair My mind is clear and well aware. THIS we know...that mind is divine. *S* for me Stinkylove....   and...for Randy... lol ....   *winkiewinkie*  No one has ever shown me how to see the world the way I see it now ... |

Seymour, it's very difficult for me to believe you could "wake to infinite bore," with a vision such as yours for your environment. Beautiful poem until that unbelievable last line.  Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Mr. T., I'm in a rather silly mood today--- and here you've written yet another wondrously wonderful sonnet, and I'm wondering (I love alliteration), if this rocking chair is the same chair you wrote of in another of your poems---you know --the one where you were naked and had your legs up in the air?!? ---or did I make up the "naked" part? hahahahaha luvyalotz dear sonneteer EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (11-06-2002 02:00 PM).] |

Sy, I don't believe you could ever wake to infinite bore...because you always awaken to write another of your treasures...such as this one... |

Brings back memorys of "lightning bugs" in a mayonaise jar with hole punched in the top.I even thought putting some grass in the jar would keep them alive.They died slowly as their glow became fainter and fainter.Ever since then I hate to see living things kept in enclosures.I would rather see them floating over an open field.Sending out their lighted calls of love. paladin [This message has been edited by paladin (11-07-2002 07:53 PM).] |
