Adorning.
Shallower sages would never permit streams of
night's glittering stardust to detract them from
edging their message with ego's silk sound.
Meanwhile a poetic dreamer reveals
his penchant for embroidering
that which cannot be sewn,
writes to im-passion
every sun's rise,
adds a vision
to twilight
since
scribes
quill with
unmatched
craft verbose
lyrical phrasings,
a dreamy romantic
will drop gilt moondust
around every line enhancing
the ordinary to beautify normal.
Coping with life poets slip outside reality,
spin cotton-wool stories then, minds flying
with notions, they use ink to adorn with fancy.

Beautiful words Fay 🙂🙂
Thank you Rose.
Brilliant!
You honour my work with that one short word also for adding the words to you favourites has my sincerest thank yous dear friend.
I think I understand a little better romantic poetry now - the embroidery which enhances the ordinary - and believe me, to convince a hard head, that's some achievement, Fay.
Cannot pass on without mentioning the physical structure here - worth a frame.....
Am over the moon that my verse has convinced you of that one moot point Dave - - keep seeking to weave and embroider your subject with imagery and poems will sink a bit deeper and make readers think ......... well that is what I was taught eons ago. Grateful thanks for the mention too of the shape which I hoped would frame the message with form.
Dear Fay,
It is with the deepest, most profound sorrow that I must inform you of a rigorous assessment pertaining to my talents in the area which was the subject of our recent exchange.
I regret to advise that any activity I may engage in with respect to Romantic Poetry will be confined to appreciation rather than participation.
Yours faithfully
D. Dave
PS: I would be crap at it….. 😊
Go on wid ya Dave - methinks you are a big romantic softie at heart - so do have a go and I will be waiting.
I wouldn't wish you to perish of hypothermia on the seawall awaiting my boat to come in, Fay. Think of yourself - dismiss me as a lost cause......
My word- that is absolutely stunning, Fay.
Am near speechless with thanks for your generous assessment of Adorning dear Jerry.
Pixels my dear pixels. LOL (sorry bout the sexist part of that).
Hey, thats wot i duz... or swat i tries innit..
Lovely shapely lyrical poetry from Fay the shapely poet of MPS. (sorry for the shapist comment in that).
Ha ha -- form brings a depth beyond just written poetry and so glad you liked my effort at shapeliness to adorn the Adorning dear D.
I enjoyed reading this . I've never seen a poem written in this way . Thank you for sharing.
So true Fay "poets slip out of reality".
Great words.
Andy
Yes, indeed .. am struck dumb for words ... but Fabtastic will hopefully suffice until I am reloaded ... Neville x
