Awaken my love . . . Denounce the quiet of your resolution arising from a virgin dusting. Consummated by the somber shadows of winter. I have indulged myself for far too long. Embracing the choir of your children, tulip and daffodil, buried within your bosom, Plumed in darkness. Wailing, since the onset of frost. Lift the veil. Sing your sweetness across the eastern shore. Let your voice echo in the valley, migrating across our waters. Brush your breath, fervid as an artist at his easel. Heed the ice, my sentinel, examine each crack and bleed sailing, as gossamer, upon the wind. Raise your voice, Sister! Bid farewell, the Ice Princess. Spread your palm, fingers splayed upon her own, barren and glacial and lead her, in love, to paradise. |

"Raise your voice, Sister! Bid farewell, the Ice Princess." You manage to write resolve with a gentle flair, Sistah! and everything I said before, still stands. Brava, littlewing, Brava.  "You have to laugh at yourself, because if you didn't you'd cry your eyes out" - Emily Dickinson |

Through you i can see her now, skating across the frozen tundra the rain that frosted her shoulders now melts within the iridescence that connects the seasons. safe now, she drops her guard and becomes the first kiss of spring. |

I like the imposing and stately styling co-mingled with free verse -- it makes it distinct from strophed out prose -- a comfortable blending that lends a tone of majesty to the subject. the new picture is nice too |

Hello Sue, Love the new picture! Is it a photograph or a sketch? Your lips look very kissable! 'embracing the choir of your children' there's something so beautiful and sad about that, and is even more so surrounded by the rest of the words... I have indulged myself for far too long. Embracing the choir of your children, tulip and daffodil, buried within your bosom, Plumed in darkness. Wailing, since the onset of frost. Love it. Keeping it. x |

It's writing like this that causes me to call my pathetic attempts "scribbles". I, once again, stand in complete and humbled awe at your talent. In the wooden chair |
