Was there ever a finer blending then
Midnight and Silver?
None that the Northern Woods knew of.
Midnight's eyes seemed rimmed in blood
and Silver's gaze was luminous, pale gold
where each stared, heads tilted high
as gentle moon glided into full.
Black feathers stretched to measure
moon's soft light while Silver
sang her echoing thanks to skies above.
And moon adored them, cradled them
as children, coloured in shades of night.
Stealth step and fluttering wing
whisper through the snow-laced woods;
two heart rhythms sheltered by the limbs
where they become shadows adrift in love.

A story tellers opening, then the sensual promise in the suggestive description along with the moon personified. The next three verses weaves the inter-play, the pair and the love of the moon for them. The last line:explanation, promise, benediction.
Beautifully done.
Love,

This is different than your normal writing. This is delightful. I like the organization of this poem. I have a penchant to write like this, in even cadence. Your poem skips along with a measured beat. I will venture this: I liken this type of writing to cohesive, compact thinking. You have always been a person who thinks in organized patterns. Who thinks clearly as it comes out in all your poems. I enjoyed reading this. It is a bang-up job of a poem. Nice.

This piece certainly spins me around in a few spots, however it's exceptional style, movement, and flow do not escape my recognition.
Just, well, oh.......

Beautiful
I love the romance to this piece. A flowing, warm, thoughtful piece of writing with great images of nature and a peaceful feel to it. I keep looking back to find the one stanza that stands out above the others, but I am lost in each stanza every time look back. I do think that the second half of the piece is my favorite, but the whole thing is magical and beautiful!
