Lemon Drop Licks

Suspended like a lemon drop on the tongue of night the moon melts on the clarinets keys Haze, ever present, on this humid September eve, blurs the edges of reality calling forth images of sweet beginning the howls of wolf.. as the sax soars and the warmth of blood. A firecracker night sparks spinning in lamplight basking in blue velvet humming with the whir of cicada's with the brushes on top hats.

Oh, I love this! I once read a book on how to write poetry and it said something to the effect of "when you feel the need to write cicada, DON'T" LOL. But I think it is lovely here! My fave line is spinning in lamplight, but my fave image is the first verse. I am off to bed... my cold is back or a new one has begun... Hugs, Dee PS I did go out today with my girl to an independent bookstore she loves and I bought the Koran. I am going to try to read it, slowly, from now to Dec. I want to know...
