Words
How I l...Your post reminds me of this poem:<br /><br />Words<br /><br />How I love the mere words, the picturesque and dear words,<br />Romany and Patteran and Caravan and Chal-<br />How they lilt and sing to me; flame-lit, how they bring to me<br />Heathered moors and bending skies and gypsy carnival.<br /><br />The sun-swept and the wild words I dreamed of as a child, words<br />Like Lariat and Chaparral, Coyote, Pinto, Sage;<br />How they flung a dare to me of life without a care to me;<br />How the flying hoofbeats rang across the printed page!<br /><br />The lanthorn-lit, the old words, the scarlet and the gold words,<br />Palfrey, Jerkin, Yeoman, Falcon, Glebe and Glade;<br />Minstrel, Lance, and Tourney - what an age-long journey<br />Through the posterns of the Past, alone and half-afraid.<br /><br />The wind blown and the sea words, the lawless and the free words,<br />Spindrift, Doubloon, Cutlass, Jib, Corsair, Yardarm Crew;<br />Whispering wild tales to me - ah, how each unveils to me<br />Palm-fringed islands rising green against the ocean blue.<br /><br />The balsam-scented North, words that call untamed hearts forth, words<br />Like Wanigan, and Mackinaw, Duffle, Tumpline, Trail;<br />While the languid South to me turns a lover-mouth to me<br />Jasmine-scented, passion flowered, by the Bayou pale.<br /><br />Some may live their fair dreams, costly, jewelled, rare dreams;<br />Some may rove the luring world as free as homing birds;<br />But still I'll find my all for me, close-waiting at my call for me,<br />In my printed palaces, bright-tapestried with words.<br /><br />-Martha Haskell Clarke.Bernitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264585685253812090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-39511802675987672009-11-26T23:26:16.773-05:002009-11-26T23:26:16.773-05:00Hope you had a stress-free day!
