There is something comforting about books. I am not a great reader, but I love the comfort of the library, I feel safe, knowing my brain could, if it desired read anything.

So, Lynn enjoys the music and the poetry. Lucky Lynne. Mornings in my house are the best time, before the cocophany when everyone wakes up . I have learned to flow, absorb, detatch....write it out...

Good to know that though the place is gone, there are good memories here, places to escape to, adventures to be found, imaginary kingdoms to lord over, good people to hold dear. The place you were formed, where you learned silent skills of choice, decision making, risk, negotiation, how to fight, and apologise, so many more.

She speaks his name with such care
gently wrapping her lips around
the letters like baby kisses
so as not to break each dream....
How pretty is that , so delicate, so full of love.

Aw Ken, wouldn't it be ideal if that happened, no more lies, no more corruption, no spin, sadly, politics is beyond , disconnected from the average Joe or Joline. My faith in them is non existent.

My my, you have been observing very closely and the use of French adds a delightful delicacy, so reflective of Spring's lightness after Winter gloom.

Hmm. I'm wondering who truly is the unworthy one? They that cry the tears, or the subject of their fascination. For the writer still grieves so for them, despite being treated unfairly, I deem the taunter unworthy of such tears.

Hi Lacy I'm glad you read it and enjoyed your own interpretation. Believe it or not it was intended as a Spring poem. It was a warm sunny morning here when I wrote it. The stallion is Winter.

Now then,
This line alone "under clear and generous starlight" is the one that brings it all together, ever so skilfully and truthfully.. I may steal that line at some future point. I am also brutally honest with my intent.
Well done.

Oooowf, so many references. There was at first a quick read through, praising myself thinking yes, yes I know that, or that, thinking to myself, this is charming, sing-a-long...but, as the vernacular goes " missy just got educated!" Rather, in Dublin's case, illuminated. So, on further inspection I'm happy to say it's not so much a biddy,biddy,bum poem, more Sonny, I've been bad a binged to death
Now, after that comment, I think I need a lie down.
