"...something started in my soul,
fever or forgotten wings,
and I made my own way,
deciphering
that fire,
and I wrote the first faint line,
faint, without substance, pure
nonsense,
pure wisdom
of someone who knows nothing,
and suddenly I saw
the heavens
unfastened...." - Pablo Neruda (my favorite poet)

As one striving to master my muse in the art of poetry, I must state that you have captured the very essence of how I feel in the way she looks so deeply immersed in her words, she is a true poet. The lanterns remind me of the dreams she is holding in her heart and as she writes of them they are set free. A definite fav.

Oh, how lovely. The slight bit of eastern influence and all the warm orange and pinks remind me a tad of the summer of love... Such a peaceful image.

Beautiful image and I love the curled up fox

Reminds me of a line from a Blyth Spirit song (the title escapes me for the moment...)

"Idle poetasters test their mettle on the lilacs and the greens"

Bogbrush In reply to Foxfires [2008-03-08 14:49:17 +0000 UTC]

Went and found which song it was from - "Milton's Schemes" off of the Paradise Razed album. The rest of the verse goes :-

Round the ragged rocks, shifting in between the trees
Idle poetasters test their mettle on the lilacs and the greens
The sparrowhawks and starlings on the gallows shifting lightly in the breeze
And the mistlethrush disturbs the sheperd boy's dreams
