A tongue is yellow from the taste a pinky dipped discernment grace is sometimes something in the place of cadmium and queen anne's lace-- a pistil leaning with the weight - pick it carefully it is the stuff that made the Van Gogh glow in circles much too serious and intricate with fingerprints in places where a brush won't go until you smile and let the bliss flow between the sequences allowing all the things you know to stand outside of you It is what you have been living for... (edited for spelling...and um, thanks  )[This message has been edited by serenity blaze (04-09-2006 11:58 PM).] |

I agree with Martie... Wow! That title knocked my sox off. I want to put it in my pocket and keep it. Is that okay? |

"allowing all the things you know to stand outside of you It is what you have been living for..." I liked the pauses in the ending, it made it breathe, very nicely done Serenity, or maybe you prefer lady Blaze  Enjoyed..Love "How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!" |

Karen, this is a most wonderful poem! You have given so much wisdom so beautifully....I feel the end of "Stigmata" the movie....you know where Arquette is walking around in the garden with a dove on her hand. Loved this. ....jo |

serenity, Cad? Me? Umm, could very well be, but, I've never showed a hint of yellow. Just loved the flow of this and couldn't help noticing how it incorporated more of a regular rhyme scheme than most of your works. But that's just stodgy ol' me. Doc |

into the library next to my personal Vincent favorites my sweetest sister, I love you even more than before, for this magical write Do you remember this one from my muse, 2004? I know your palette, for I’ve seen your hues in nature’s clues. I’ve seen yellow hay bales towering majestically under a scorching orange summer sun hanging from intense cobalt blue skies. The bales were glowing the same mustard yellow as the haystacks reflected in your eyes. Those amber grains wave to me each day alongside the deep viridian green alfalfa fields, highlighted by splashes of poppies and boldest yarrow, amid Queen Anne’s lace torn by treacherous thistles. They greet me each day now, as they no doubt will tomorrow, blending fluidly in contrast, a yin and yang dance, as the blue cornflowers line up like wallflowers the entire length of the gravel roadway and fence. I am in awe, and bow my head and fold my hands. And even as the sunflowers shout out your name, I see the blackest midnight band of crows fly by, flying in a rare "V" as if honoring your memory. (Crows do not usually fly in a "V" pattern, as far as I know.) I know your palette, Vincent. For it is readily seen within nature’s clues. |
