Adorning

Fay Slimm.

 

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.

        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.....

        • Fay Slimm.

          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….. 😊

            • Fay Slimm.

              Am near speechless with thanks for your generous assessment of Adorning dear Jerry.

              Lovely shapely lyrical poetry from Fay the shapely poet of MPS. (sorry for the shapist comment in that).

              • Fay Slimm.

                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.

                So true Fay "poets slip out of reality".
