Click hereBecause you are a wondrous light
that plays with shadows as one might
expect in some jeweled diadem,
I look above your slender stem
to seek some blossom, brilliant white:
but still incapable of flight,
my gaze cannot achieve that height.
Don’t think that you are not a gem,
because you are.
Dull days and nights grow sparkling bright
and smoldering embers re-ignite
in brilliances that find mayhem
in hardened sparks defining them.
They want to be you, but cannot, quite —
because you are.

twelveooneover 16 years agoa little forced, and not quite right - I'll blame it on the form. A lesser poets plight would be to make it so much worse. And I would have like to seen it expressed as free verse.
Welcome back, foehn. Too.
champagne1982over 16 years agoHow terrific to see you back! Wonderful use of form and I've always loved your lady poems, anyway. So what a perfect way to reacquaint myself with your voice.
