painful
aged reminders
of love lost long ago,
yellowed papers begin to break,

melancholy
if only to tidy
up your laughter and make it clean
again
again
she looks for more,
more laughter, more intrigue...
unexpected, intrigue finds her,
she laughs
she laughs
and the skies ring,
ring again, ring again
and all heav'n is filled with laughing
echoes
:)
echoes
of caresses
thought forgotten roll in
like fog, joining the sea to
the shore
The shore!
And certain hope
of milky coconuts
and crystal springs watering this
atoll
atoll
circling waters
with no care but to serve
as fortress standing guard, the ring,
tonight
tonight
my skin raises
to a frosty wind that's
disputable. Inside - wrapped in
fire.
In fire
Salamander
Sits, eyes unwinking, scales
Incandescent; sits motionless,
Waiting.
fire? One syllable? I say fy-er.
Waiting
shivering wet
low clouds indifferent to
the winter sun's feeble heat, senseless
waiting.
waiting
for the next bus
headed out to Texas
destiny lies somewhere out West
sunset
sunset
in Somerset
Red clouds over Brendon
Dunkery Beacon all ablaze
twilight.
fy-er is fine, especially for firing squads. One syllable is prissier or posher. BBC English might have required three syllables - fa-ee-er.
okay, whatever you say old bean. to me it sounds like the deep south to say Fiah. Mammy?
twilight
summers sunburned,
rum and boats marina'd
glassy slow rocking lake soothes like
music
fy-r
music
bagpipe and flute
bright skirts swirl in firelight
a child lifts up her voice in song
divine
ok, ok. fie-err as you said. :lol:
divine:
the look of a
cow as it's led to death.
innocent trust of the swinging
hammer
hammer
heavens gift to
mankind, the erring race
in need of iron punishment
Um, that was 2-4-6-8-2, correct? Seems to be a slight problem... I'll start with part of it, Tris.Quote:

your smile
lights the darkness
like a rich jewel afire
in the Ethop’s left ear lobe—
lovely

lovely,
like a newborn
girl is a gift from you,
never ceasing to give my heart,
never
Never.
Briefest of words
that tell how soon my love
for you shall fade or pass away.
Ever.
ever,
always exist:
never pass from life, but
remain eternal, without end—
no death
No death,
no slow tumble
into black mystery,
seasons swallowed by rabid life
hungry.
Hungry
for new knowledge
we throw haiku about,
that ancient wisdom may emerge.
Some hope.
some hope
light rain will sink
with gentle diligence,
to bathe fragile roots in liquid
delight
delight
laughter resounds
merry giggles come floating from
the front porch swing where lovers sit
so close
So close
their tentacles
entwined, their suckers stuck
together; just two jellyfish
mating.
mating—
forming new life—
the male joins with female,
mystery of life’s secrets—
pass on…
pass on
the other side.
Do not see the bodies
half-hidden by blankets of flies.
At peace.
at peace
tranquility
drifting on clouds of down flake
a dandelion seed adrift in air—
floating

Floating
adrift in air,
ridges displayed unique
anthills white and the busy specks,
snow falls.
Snow falls
Just in daydreams
With ant-like proportions
We miss out on chocolate skies
Sometimes.
pen, that's gorgeous. :)Quote:

The test postponed!
I've time to read the book
and learn a few good quotations;
Or not.
Thank you, Riesa! :blush:Quote:

My dear.
My dear
dear grandchildren
lighten my waking hours
and fill my dreams with happiness
and joy
and joy
peace, love, hope, faith—
against such can no law
bring any fault evil, profane, ugly—
tranquil
tranquil -
watching the sun going up,
blinded -
by your handsome bright smile -

maiden linger
whisper secrets to me
tell me of your fondest wishes—
just smile…
