An evening early in the year

 

The sun has shone all day, 

its veiled layers of clouds float soft as air

in lacy patterns here and there,

 

the hills are tinted washes, blue

lost in this mist of delicate hue

the sky turned rainbow 

in one tiny puff of vapours, mornings dew,

escaped to heaven where, 

like me and you, our scores

their scales ascend the evening's arpeggio

 

and sound the last post out of doors

where night's grey-blue gown now retires

and sends our thoughts to other hours

there to dream of church's spires,

inspired to fall together in our soft sweet desires

and make a pact if this be true, exact

your wisdom sires a spirit new

what wonders we can do in company

in season's dew we bathe so happily.

Yes I do she/it is my teacher in all things

Ann of Norway Dear P. I look out of my window and see, and because I love nature I do SEE and it is rewarding and ever changing. This particular day there was a shawl of cloud as if woven or knitted, with holes through to the blue sky, hence my description of it. I saw all that is mentioned here and am thankful that I can. I think my genes are responsible for this sensitivity along with the presence of my parents when I was little, life became enriched by them and of course the poets before me, and you all concentrate my mind enabling the perception of things beyond their face values and stir my imagination to embroider them. Oh my this got a bit long winded I think! Oh its late so I shall leave it as it is and again say I am thankful for my life and those who have inspired me in it. You too as your poetry has similar insights and I thank you Pamela for sharing with me. I sometimes wonder if my poetic descriptions are a bit much, a bit old fashioned but they are me, how I feel and in the language that I know has some kind of poetic lilt, so take it or leave it, you others who are more modern and dashing in your wordings. Love A.

Mercy buckets Crudephriam!

Ann of Norway So you like things other than upside down and sides to middles cooked in the frying pan of your standng-on-your-head poetry? I have, well I hardly dare say, hundreds of descriptions of the view it is always different ever changing nature, and I have thousands of photos of the same; now digital, whereas before they were in the form of slides to show friends on a screen 2m. wide! That's a lovely way too. But they have gone through a metamorphic change and become poetry. I always have described things in my letters something I have done all my life. This was a letter beginning too. I do so enjoy your nonsensical wisdom words and am thrown about inside my mind by their impetus and rhythm. Thank you again Ephriam for visiting the glades of Spring with me. Love Ann.

poetic imagery

In the solitude of a forgotten love We reside oblivious of darkened silence. My eyes sparkle, As I read the glamorous writings Of my masters' voice Alas I have yet to spring From the springing board, Where I lay still, Awaiting a storm To lift me above the clouds, To show my ma’am How metaphors now flow out From the depths of mines deep loved once by one and all
