Fay, this is beautiful. And where does a line like \"trailing indigo veiled them in muslin\" come from? I could never in a thousand years think of something like this.
Chapeau!

The breaking of the silken bread...I wonder sometimes if your enchanted pen sings hymns for you as you sweep it across paper. Wonderful picture paired with verse.

Faye, you did it again! How many of these beautifully written poems to you still have up your sleeve?
The romance of a lifetime becomes memory\'s pearl. So well said!
The picture is beautiful too, looks like she is waiting for her sailor to return.

Love your poem Fay, you are right, there is so much more to us than just a bunch of atoms. A thought that popped into my head after reading this excellent poem is: If somebody would lose all his/her sensory perception (blind, deaf, etc.) would he/she still see, hear, feel, and smell solely in the brain?

A fine write Fay. I heard, maybe related in some way: If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around, does it make a sound\'? Erm, how could we find out?! Here\'s ends TUI - Today\'s Useless Information from me?!

Fay, you humble me with your poetic expression of philosophy ... the realm of most of my poetic endeavors. \"Moments of noting translate by alchemy to each of the reflective senses\" is brilliant! To my mind, the reflective senses include the ones beyond the seven physical, those referred to as \'extra-sensory\' perception that we tend to ignore ... the still, small voice within. Thank you for this beautiful, evocative poem!

You\'ve got an affinity for writing about human involvement with nature. It\'s very refreshing. This put a lovely spin on a simple, (in some countries), every day occurrence. Bravo Fay.

Thanks FAY ~ BEAUTIFUL (as always) and a perfect symbiosis of Picture & Poem. It is apparent in many of you poems that you live near enough to the SEA to taste it ~ but that is true of all Cornish Pixies ! I love the contrast in the two verses., In the first verse you are behaving prim & proper ~ Sunday best and demurely waving ! In verse two you throw caution to the Cornish winds ~ you jump in (Sunday best and all !) ~ and wade willfully into the Arms of your Lover. Your Love Poems FAY always make me weep ~ but they are Tears of Appreciation & Understanding ~ Love the Quality of your Postings ~ Love YOU ~ through poetry ~ BRIAN.

Your title redefines and restores a word usually associated with the horror of war! This poem painted a picture and told a story that held me captive to the end. A real beauty, Fay, thank you.

What a beautiful way to describe waiting for the loved one. Living on an island I fully understand. Sadly, sometimes the wait is for nothing.
Beautiful poem again Fay. Thank you.

See this quite a bit round my way. Some time ago I swerved to avoid one and ended up in a ditch - a farmer came to my rescue and pulled me out with his tractor but only after berating me for aiming my car at the poor creature.

Such a sad sight to see any animal run over but foxes are such beautiful animals it seems to make it more so. Good write Fay.

THANKS FAY ~ Picture and Poem both send a SAD MESSAGE ! Just as we cause great damage (with our cars) to our species ~ there is much more damage (mainly unacknowledged) to other living creatures All living things occupy the planet and we are all interdependent and should seek to conserve not kill! The CAR alas hold a position high in the FOOD chain ~ bizarre because it FEEDS on Fossil Fuel and kills but never consumes its kill ! I love you for your empathy ~ in all things ~ Yours BRIAN

Fay, your poem opens our eyes to the sad fact of road-kill. Be it a fox, cat, dog, or bird, they all die needlessly.
Well written as always.
