I wrote this because an art teacher was leaving and I adored her quirky art school clothes and her physical grace. To Imogen Luddy. The moon shines like the good old days, Her daughters coin her silver as their due. Time moves the tides and the changes drain The sand by the hour, even the glass in the pane. And the rain we shut our windows to, Is intimate with melancholy, So dissolve in laughter and regret the thing That keeps our lives on a lonely string. You are so lovely, and lovely when you play, now the sun has got his hat on. And it’s shining on your way. DG 2006 Portraits of pals. |

I noticed "Portraits of Pals" at the bottom of the page. What a lovely idea! ~ I enjoyed this one!  Loving Light, EA |

You are most gracious. I belong to the school of thought that believes the true subject of poetry is never oneself.. Leave that to therapists. Some of the first poets on earth were "praise singers" and you can still feel that spirit in classical poetry or indeed in African places like Mali. |
