I send my words into the sky
Watch them rhyme and then fly.

I close my eyes and feel the air
Forgotten words lost without care.

I take the letters in my hand
And put them on a poetic stand.

I scribe the words on a starlit scroll
Watch words take shape as night unfolds.

My dreams drift from a soul that bleeds
In the blue of ink, fractured lines freed.

I run my hands over my words
My fingers feel the emotions stirred.

With tender ease, the poetry glides
From my page to your eyes.

        I must flee to find out my weather for thenext 20 days and then try to fling forth a few as-et unslung arrows.
        Do the boon of forgiveness, I pray you, Good Lady, for not being as attentive as your worth required. Besides, I have not even gotten ’round to John Coyote Castellenas and his stunning good words. I may have misspelled Castellenas, but while t he rest of me seems tottering my memory insists it is intact. Liar! Not ye! Me!
        I tell beautiful women I encounter – and why wait so long to tell you? – I have an unroyal commission which allows me to tell three lies to any beautiful woman each day so long as I tell t hem first I am going to lie now: and by most unscientific means digital, I’ve yet to have fore than three reply to me query: would you rather I live TO you or lie ABOUT you. So far only one respondent hath said: NEITHER!. Most, so far, have said Lie To Me – rather than About Me. Which I suppose goes along with the current cant.
        But now I must beg off – Steeden, the not-snob, would perhaps suggest I add another “e” and emplace an “r” in “beg.” Oh, yes, Add a “u” too.
        I flee now. Love and best wishes. J
