Thought on thought collides bursting the seam of what seems to lend wail of wandering spirits keen I hear them impaled on listen of ear crawling back through destruction feeling peeling revealing searching unearthing Pieces amiss gathering cloud of storm warns but does not warm these monks they are not helping me I hear their masculinity monotone the sun and flank the priory of two by two and mourning doves left startling white pin feathers on the gray gravel every footfall sank as though God was weeping on a curve... dancing like he's dangerous as the angel clapped absurd wings in molting featherings coral is the cobalt--gone-- as the light does what she does shine and blush awake a tide shells in shimmer on the beach as depth becomes her in the deep dangerous and roiling brine "remember me, entwined" Take leave of the leaf let it drift dare it to sift your thoughts through time as the white winged warrior brings it home ~Serenity and Marge~ ~together again~ |

smile... Marge made it easy, and fun. As a thank you to her, and since her title reminded me of it, I'll leave a little present for her to share with the grandie-girls. It's just a little joke, and don't be alarmed Marge, it is one they can share-- Q. Why won't don't ducks fly upside down? A. Because they are afraid of quacking up! <---Huh? Huh? I hope I didn't scare ya Margie. *chuckle*Thanks for the fun, and most of this was indeed Marge, she took pity on me as my last nerve broke yesterday and I managed a wee verse inspired by one of hers, and then she made it fly! And now, I'm off to bed. I have a date with a teddy bear. REALLY.  |

Hi, Marge (and co-writer?). That's quite a poem! Very vivid images as well as murky metaphors mark this work as one for ages. Everyone will have to come to his or her own conclusion about what it means. Well done.

It brought out both of your amazing styles in this . Very good. It was really good all the different words , but the reader can understand them how they work. |
