    Same with me. I'm often awed with the wonderful imagery I find on these threads.

    kiz, thanks for your nice comment.



    Images of rare beauty
    meaningful, surprising, amazing, breathtaking.
    O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.


    Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor

    Thanks so very much, cdn and barbara. Your compliments go a long way, really.

    Tonight we melt
    shadow and form
    together again.

    The smile cracked
    as guests sung
    "Unhappy Birthday".

    It won't hurt
    to pluck
    a thornless rose.

    I must also thank you for the kind complement, CdnReader. It really encourages me to continue. I'm glad you liked that one


    The house
    inside your heart
    is now open.

    Star splits
    and light enters
    our cosmic dreams.

    Flowers bowed
    like acclaimed conductors
    in nature's symphony.

    Thank you, CR. However:

    I forgot
    to count
    the words
    I entered

    knowing is one thing
    believing is another
    story.

    This made me smile, thanks, Maz!

    As well, Cdn, you have such witty poetic responses -- love it!
