I love the sound of your voice outlaw cowboy moonlight rider it’s a smoke tuned voice pure grits honey tequila memories of old dogs yes and other women sunny hours spent in front of a cantina dreaming rogue dressed as a southern gentleman I love the sound of your voice makes me dream of dancing of flying of murmuring yes it’s when you whisper lady that memory grips my shoulders and I remember I should have left long ago |

That whapped me back into yesterday's music... Lady... By K. Rogers... and the old dogs line... had to smile... in fact, still am... even though it is a sad poem... so, indeed, perhaps a sad smile... |

Often (very often) when I read your poetry, Kate, I think that you should be directing a movie. You put the light and shadow, the colours, the subtle movements, the sounds, the flash backs, the pain and the joy, and most of all, simultaneously the reality and the impressionism into each perfectly-fashioned work of art you create. What amazes me, is that your standard never even wavers, not for a poem, not for a line, not for a word. Each of your words is, as the French say, "le mot juste" the perfect word in exactly the right place. Your poetry is never too much, nor too little, and it's NEVER bland. You hold your reader's attention right the way through every nuance of your poem to the very end, and you always finish in a way, that the reader can't let go of the poem, long after he/she has gone out of Pil. This poem is a gem, and I ache with you for its truth. - Owl |

You sense so right, Joyce. There’s so much more. Thank you. Ahhh… if you know that kind of voice Sheli, there’s nothing left to say. Thank you so much. Thank you for going along Rachel. On a ride like this you must lean into the curves and hold on tight. |

Many images arise... But they all seem to hover around "Grievous Angels" in their "Hour of Darkness". ::smiles:: "Whistlers and Jugglers and Singers of Songs" Wonderful write ! As always |

Your words are so tangible they make me feel as though your memories are my own. Fine work. "Nature has implanted in our minds an insatiable longing to seek the truth" - CJCL Convention Theme 2005 |

Thank you, James Thank you, Stranger. I love music of a particular kind and yes, it satiates my soul. Uriah, the Lady’s definitely got a fever for whistlers and jugglers and singers of songs. We need a little Emmy Lou with Grievous Angels then… oh, Lord grant me vision. Thank you for the music! Thank you, deasomnians. I am glad you enjoyed. |
