I wonder what they’re doing down in Newstead Abbey where the Indian summer marks the sky in patterns of grey and bronze, haloing them in the fading light. Where perfumed petals of roses fall under their feet to be crushed unknowing beneath their intercourse. I wonder what they’re doing down at Newstead Abbey? As they inhale coffee, fragrant and steaming to intertwine words with the scent and evening air. Their discussion of poets long dead mingling with the chill of autumn and wafting on the hint of winter. I wonder what they’re doing down at Newstead Abbey, where geese honk mourning and offer feathered quills to make a promise of repose for them to lie on where they have intimate dealings with words and the romance that surrounds them. I wonder what they’re doing down at Newstead Abbey? While I toil away at work tasting the ash of a dead marriage and thinking of all that is going on. I may not have poetry in my soul but I don’t lack imagination and passion still runs hot at the thought of him being with another… discussing poetry, only poetry. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Captivating and creative imagination. THAT particular thought might cause anxiety, but you release it in your words, I hope! Love, Margherita |

Seymour, unfortunately it's all in my head. Margerhetia, He was a gentleman through and through I just wondered what his wife might have been thinking before she met and saw me for who I was.

Keth, your strength is as passionate as ever... and poetry is the backbone of your very soul.  Kudos, lady Poet.... |
