Dusk It comes so suddenly right after mauve someone dumps charcoal into it and stirs until just a small sun slips cool into night |

You DO have a way with words. But, then, you always have. That's why I read all you write ![]() Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

![]() (smiles) Awwwwwww, this is soooooooo cute and artistic, sweet friend, it had me envisioning a tiny smiling speck of yellow tucking itself in sheets of glossy ebony, yay! (giggles) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

Dusk catches a moment's green eye glimpsed into tomorrow and falls silent into a shroud of dreams come to be... true. ![]() . |

Lovely, Martie. I'd like to slip cool into night as well - just can't find the charcoal. |

This taste makes me want to hear more.....there's much said within this little gem, and just between thee and me, I think it's the start of something much larger. I can't wait to find out! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I hope you're right, Ed...I've been on the lookout for words, as you know...I'll keep up the good search! Thank you friends, for replying! To Keep up the Good Search To begin on white with some lopsided twisted thought a calypso from the past perhaps or the rock where I stubbed my toe it is all like chicken scratches numbering my thoughts click click faster now they come like black birds winged and mighty and dark dark they sing across my la la la in sharps that pierce my naked longing and they discord too rumble like the far left of piano thunder trouble sad sound and I listen as if to pick out a melody that would explain but I cannot tell you of dark hair or of scarlet wishes cannot march you into my cadence so you can keep time how can you keep time I have been trying but my poem slips and I am off in circles again falling into rivers even the waterfall hears me coming and winks with sunlight for the joy of tossing me about Gentle is the wander when I float on wings of garden roses and prick my skin to feel the sun fill up all my surfaces with surprise and then today I lost my count and I whispered to the soft air where where is my lost thought and it lay me down again on this white page where I have clicked my life and said someday you will see but for now you must keep up the good search. |

Hi Martie, There's always a lot of impressionism in your poetry. At its best, the level of honesty lets you put across some wonderful perspective. Especially powerful here is your use of the word "someone," and the visual of "just a small sun" (as it would appear). I have to wonder, do you paint? Your writing makes it seem like you have the eyes of Claude Monet. Always a pleasure to read you. This goes into my library. Brian |
