Amidst Magic Mys'try
©copyright 2004 Bonita M Quesinberry, R.C.
Upon soft black velvet, diamonds wink, twinkling
silver moonbeams slip through shadowed fir, in blur
lighting aglow misty fingers bind, winding.
Gentle breath to ink chimes, melody tinkling
in harmonic sigh with river's lullaby,
as it winds glittering by untold his'try.
It had been soft gray, this lazy rainy day;
God's pitter-patter soothing all who matter.
A fantasy world amidst magic mys'try.

Very simple and very sweet.

Whoops! Sorry I'm late. :/ Anyways...loved how smoothly everything flowed into its fellow lines. Definitely carries that soothing, sweetly hypnotic tone that helped me calm down after a busy day. Excellent job!

Better a little late than never right? Anyway, this was beautiful. Such imagery, I sort of forgot I was really just sitting at a computer. Nice work. Hope you enjoyed the spotlight; you deserved it.

You have good strong descriptive words in your poem. Nature has always been a subject of interest and enjoyment for me, so I found the images you paint with your descriptions very nice.

Love the gray rainy day for I do enjoy that kind of weather and wish we might have more.
Your poem is filled with images that take the reader right to the scene. 
Beautiful!

Belated Bandits United!
The soothing "pitter-patter" of rain against a soft velvet night cause me to sigh, beautiful imagery and metaphors.
The word "fantastic" seems jarring in this gentle poem, also it tells, not shows. The rest is pure beauty.
-

Thank you! Do you suppose "fantasy" might work better than "fantastic?" At the moment, my brain is. . . hmmm. . . dead, I think. There are so many other words as well, just can't seem to drag them out.
Luv & hugs, SisBon

How about (something like) this:
"It had been soft gray, this lazy rainy day;
God's pitter-patter soothes mind and matter.
His gift refreshes soil and soul." -
-
Hmmm? While I love your suggested line, which is perfect, except it does not meet the poem's or line meter. What I was attempting to convey in that last line was the scene around me. I lived in the forest across from a river and, in such weather, it became much like a fantasy land possessing a sense of mystery about it.
Luv ya! SisBon

Ah, I didn't pick up on the meter...
"fantasy" works better than "fantastic" _ softer, and has a different connotation.

Bandits United...
The softness of this write is breath taking each line flows with ease to the next, the imagery is grand as I see the diamonds winking and the moonbeam brightness for all to see, this is lovely and to add God in the center makes this a wonderful shower of grace...

The imagery in this poem is inspired. I liked the first stanza the most and the way you create a picture of the night with the moon shining brightly. This poem flows very well and I liked your descriptions. Congratulations on the trophy.

Thank you, Sis! I recall the evening I was sitting on Betty's deck. It had rained all day, but evening brought that gorgeous moonlight filtering through fog weaving its way through the majestic fir trees as the river sang across the road. It really was a magical moment. I wish I could have done it better justice.
Much luv & hugs, SisBon

It is this ability to capture a moment forever that makes poetry so vital to me.
Love and hugs always and forever!

Exactly! That is why I came to love poetry even as a teen, though I never attempted to write it until about age 30 or so. As I said, however, I cannot do it justice the way you can. You and Debby both are simply master poets and simply cannot pen a bad poem!
I LOVE YOU! SisBon
