 Apollo ~ Linda L. Dowd ~  In twilight hours of evening's gleaming, stood the god of past nights' dreaming, Bathed in starlight with golden crown, ~wrapped in gossamer toga gown. Proud stood he, in Apollo stance, I swooned with awe, transfixed in trance. Noble was this god from skies, with Eden promise of paradise. A land of plenty and endless love, ~No war of man, just peace of dove. His hand reached down from starry sky, I slipped him mine with uttered sigh. Thru' realms of time we'll spin together, for we are one ~ now and forever... “We are borne of star dust, and to the stars we shall one day return.” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

Some people say that rhyming takes the spirit out of a poem, some say it gives it. I like my poems to rhyme, and have rhythm. This poem is both, it has spirit, meaning, rhythm, (did I spell that right) and it rhymes. I love it |

Linda, I am so happy to see you are writing and posting. I know it cannot be easy, but I admire your tenacity. Now about this poem .... oh girl, it is spectacular. I just love the following lines: His hand reached down from starry sky, I slipped him mine with uttered sigh. Thru' realms of time we'll spin together, for we are one ~ now and forever... hugs of healing, Marti Every blade of grass has its angel |
