|
I would return there
|
1 |
|
if only for a safe, wintery kiss
|
2 |
|
from within those silken quarters
|
3 |
|
that I so dearly miss
|
4 |
|
|
|
|
but
|
5 |
|
your arms have since
|
6 |
|
grown
|
7 |
|
cold as has
|
8 |
|
that English bliss
|
9 |
|
|
|
|
and new love bears fulfillment-

I thought I'd tell you this.

I wonder if you need 'now' in line 7. Isn't that implied in "have since?" What do you think? This is very light somehow. I love Kate Bush singing while she's running through the forest...ummmmmm. Is that on the CD? I borrowed a friend's.

LOOK AT YOU!

Isabelle! Thankyou! You're right about "now" in L7. I'll axe it. I think you're thinking of "The Sensual World" where she's runnin' through the forest. Her latest album, "Aerial," is a masterpiece. Hope you're warmer in Cali than we are in Maine right now. Love, Starr

Nice to see some fans of Kate's speaking about her - and to have a nicely written and formed poem inspired by one of her finest works
Mong :)

Thanks, Mong! I've adored Kate since 1978 when she first came out and here we are almost 30 years later and I still adore her. :-) backatcha!

Thanks Chuckles! Made grown its own line. "Being about tea?" I'm not so sure I understand (as the rules of poetry often throw me anyway), but hey...consider it done (I just don't know WHY I did it)! Nice weekend, brotha! Starr

Cool poem beautifully wrought and redolent with the feel of a wintery wind blown day blowing dead leaves hither and thither.

Thanks, Jen for all the helpful critiques on P.C. ! Love, Starr

Hey, hot stuff. I dig it. With or without the reference to Kate Bush. In fact, I could go without knowing about what you were listening to. Sometimes the mystery is a good thing.
— aforbing
Thanks, Aforbing. Hot stuff, huh? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... :-) &nb sp;I took off the little reference to what inspired this poem. Take care.
