My muse is definitely evil.
She gave me four lines yesterday, and then retrieved them from my head the second I tried to write them down.
THEN she taunted me by waving fragments of the lines in front of me.
Good morning, LunaRed. Nice to see early morning activity
in the Lair.
The Silent Cliffs
Such a lovely and sad poem today.
Hello Sam!
What Is A Poem??
John T. Baker
I Love it!!
Thanks for your gifts to the Lair. Have a wonderful day.
You say EVIL?? Well she does that to me sometimes but I get back at her, by tieing her down around my neck!! LOL
That I cannot do, unfortunately.
Astronomers find 'invisible' galaxy
A British-led team of astronomers has discovered an object
that appears to be an invisible galaxy made almost entirely
of dark matter. The team, using radio telescopes in England
and Puerto Rico, found a mass of hydrogen equivalent to about
100 million suns in a group of galaxies about 50 million light-
years away, but located in vicinity of the relatively nearby
constellation Virgo. The dark galaxy, the first ever
detected -- which astronomers named VIRGOHI21 -- rotates
like a galaxy but contains no stars. Without any stars to
give light, astronomers could verify its existence only by
using radio telescopes. Scientists have proposed the existence
of a mysterious substance called dark matter to explain why the
gravitation that holds galaxies together is six times stronger
than can be explained by visible matter. VIRGOHI21 actually was
first detected in 2000, but it has taken astronomers nearly five
years to rule out all other possible explanations for what it
could be. "The Universe has all sorts of secrets still to reveal
to us, but this shows that we are beginning to understand how to
look at it in the right way," said team member Jon Davies of
Cardiff University. "It's a really exciting discovery."
Oh LunaRed, I just found this little poem.
You pinged yourself! LOL
Mommmm ~~~~ Darksheare`s muuuuuse kicked me in the shinns!
LunaRed
I just discovered that you wrote this poem some time ago?
Had I of been on line last night when you posted this in `your time zone` I would have been absolutely stunned. Then, today to learn it was written past tense and about another kind of relationship.
I was here at that time in `my geographical time zone` penning more of my story that I am trying so hard to write.
I noticed today by the time on your post was when I stopped writing to retire for my night. It is almost like you completed my page at that moment of my laying my pen down.
What is so fascinating to me, is that your poem was about a young teen love, and my story is about a collie who was the love of my life. Yet the paradox of your poem, our lives.
I connect with the sea, lighthouses, seagulls, bumblebees,
You used descriptives such as laughter, echoes, cold winters, blizzards, solitude, cry, search, troubled, silent, lonely, crushed rose
Then your title;
`The Silent Cliffs`
Really this poem is so rich LunaRed, so feeling, and it will forever be a treasure to me. I have placed it inside a journal next to my writings of my day yesterday.

Marks the one year milestone of my collie falling off of the steep sloped 55 foot Cliff onto a solid iced lake below me.
She lived for a most incredible seven days of intense care and love exchange. I am trying so hard to write about her gifts she left with me.
A little gift to you *
William Blake
He who binds to himself a joy
Doth not the winged life destroy
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in Eternity`s sunrise.

What a pearl *
I think this defines the meaning of `What Is A Poem` with pure simplicity, yet at the same time, opulent comes to mind.
a treasure find :)
