A Poetry Ballad

Ballad of the poet

When the moon kissed the sun, and light spread upon the earth. *hh*
Bright and early, 
early bird gets the worm.

With sullen time on stand by.... *DJ*"
Spurns emerald valleys that blur upon my new-found perch  *J.M.G*
While all nature wakes from slumber in timeless glory. *E.G*
Morning glory stroked by a ceremonious dandelion... whisper~   *K.D*

Bitter like morning breath.
Rooster crows, two songs, I share a note with him.
My cat rises to the sun of a new day.
Stretches into a c with her tongue curled and tail furled  *S.K.*
My coffee offers the sweetest taste after a goodbye kiss.
Clever and warm, I twinkle to the new morning light,
as I step outside, something pierced my heart..
~Wing broken, his bow in tow, arrows strewn, 
~No flight for thee, love lost, bent arrows I see,"  *R.M*
Everything I see, everything I feel around me.
Becomes a new song.
Born of many emotions.
I roll them on a paper without a pen. 
BUT!  In my mind they speak clearly to me~
Look into My eyes with your heart... and there you will find your soul  * R.A.D.*

"I hear an angel calling The beastly being within"   *R.S*
A new creation awaits beyond the path of dreams content,
Eros and Cupid both shoot through my heart."  *J.H.*
As the arrow's liquid enters my soul...    *RON*
Will that winged creature with the bow and arrows stop blinking his eyes?" *R.P*
He has stretched his wings too far this time.  *V.B.*
"His arrow of love is strumming my heart with golden grace.  *L.M*
A Halo'd smile upon my face.    * L.H*
Has suddenly turned to a grimace!   *G.S.*

Now this is a cool concept, young lady! You just emanate creativity! 44 yrs young...I resent aging! I resent even discussing my dying cells with anyone...I look in the mirror and see a stranger...who is she and what did she do with the healthier version of me...Darn kidnapping mirror! haha...

PD. I went to your contest again. I don't remember that rule from before, but anyway it says to just use the mountains in your pictures. Anyway, I noticed all the pictures I think I saw there yesterday are now gone. I only see one mountain now. Is that all you want to show is one? Please let me know so I can get started. But if you have other pictures, I'd like to check them out! luv, Andrea (nathan never answered my question in soupmail, so I am hoping he does not mind more than one haiku in his contest either)

Interesting ballad, it begs all poets to answer but how to follow a grimace? Good, work.

Irma, Selene is goddess of the moon!! it's Nette's contest but mine does not have a whole lot of imagery. I just liked the cool love story of the mythical man she had put to sleep so he would stay young forever!!(too bad we aren't ALL goddesses to be able to do that to our men)
