Description
Be still the waters that flow this nightand bring a calm to Zephyr’s breath.
Silence songs that Sirens sing
and let not Hades seek for death.
I have drank the wine of Dionysus
and braved Poseidon’s sea;
in seeking out my one true love
that better part of me.
I have reached the steps of Venus’s throne
resplendent in auras of blue
she pointed up into the night sky
where I saw such a vision of you.
There within the moon’s glossy light
remains there a vision of you…

I'm proud of you and you're accomplishments.
I haven't won any awards for poetry...but I've received two DD's on deviantArt and I read poetry on the radio on two occasions.

I would be petrified to read on TV or the radio, that is quite an accomplishment. I am hoping that soon we can collaborate on a poem, I would be honored if we could...

It was an experience to remember and one of my greatest accomplishments that I will cherish, reading poetry on the radio. It helped me in overcoming my public shyness in reading poetry in public. I used to go to poetry readings that were held in a cafe too...haven't been in a few years though.
Yes, I would like that too! I've never collaborated on a poem before, so it will be the first time for me and it sounds fun too...

I think that is fantastic. I will note you with some ideas and we will see what we can come up with.

Okay then! I will look forward to the note.
But please remember that I don't have my own computer-I go to the library. So my replies may come a day or so late. I'll be here tomorrow but not Sunday. But then I think I'll be here everyday next week from Monday to Friday.

Somehow this transports me to another time and place...
I love the whole thing, but I adore:
Silence songs that Sirens sing
for its "alluring alliteration". Yet, I kid you not!
Brilliant work!
