Warm & Golden, Those Words

Ripened syllables
fondle that emotion-
richly fold  
into puddled muse
draping themselves across a smile;

It's a world of difference
when finally-
in poem's recital,
the cantor's mouth
honey-drips languid and slow
on cold and saddened days,
and soothes a needful
heart that
profusely bled

just seconds before.

    Hood-Winked!

    I find this a very enigmatic and intriguing piece, it has a wonderful flow...It is sweet to the taste of every word upon my lips as I recite it, and smoothly swallowed, bringing a sense of warmth and joy...

    Overall impact on me:...entertaining, engaging, dramatic, nicely laid out and a delicious read

    So beautifully worded. I am truly impressed. I don't know how many times I've needed an encouraging word and have come to this site and read some "puddled muse" rich with "honey dripped words" and got a lift. Poetry is a great remedy for a hurting heart.
    You are so very gifted, it's a pleasure to read your works~vj

    Each single word and verse in this breath eloquence at its best. I read this first yesterday and tried to wrap my thoughts around just how perfect this was. Needless to say, I still couldn't do that yesterday (or I would have left this comment sooner.)

    Today, I'm no less inspired by the imagery and affection that hint through regarding the art of capturing your words. I try so hard not to be speechless when I read such things - but you certainly don't make that easy!

    Very nice Cookie beautifuly written, with the need to bring a touch of difference and flavor to ones thoughts and heart. Nicely done although all of its of course lovely your words here: drips its warm languid honey on cold and saddened days, and soothe a needful heart that profusely bled are the most heartfelt and touching Cookie. I may never become the writer you are. However I did spend over six hours last night and into the morning edited nine of my collections through word perfect. Lovely writing Cookie with meaning!

    Enjoyed This!

    Very descriptive,
    love the way it drips down the page
    like catching raindrops to quench one's thirst...


    Keep up the wonderful imagery and works!
