Notes About The Poem

Aurora Borealis

You dance in your trailing trousseau,
          Barefooted in the dark of night,
             The distant side of the moon,
            Leave speckled stardust looms,
        Weave intricate patterns of 
     Chameleontic uniqueness,
          Hidden behind long curled tendrils.
                  Dance of dark breathless love,
                     Undisturbed by star- or city lights.
                   And I witness, dazzled and
             Deeply in love. My soul follows your
               every pivot and pirouette, your
                      smile awe-inspires my heart.

Chuck Melugin March 17, 2017 at 7:51 AM Darren, the way you dance with Aurora makes me jealous. She illuminates the heavens as you put on a poetic light show! 7 My best to you, chuck Darren White March 17, 2017 at 8:05 AM Chuck, thank you :) Also for the 7...

White Wolf March 17, 2017 at 4:30 AM Wow, I would so want to witness that! If it dances as well as your poetry it must be amazing! Darren White March 17, 2017 at 4:34 AM It really does dance the way I describe, Budgie. It's simply beautiful :)

Richard Smothers March 17, 2017 at 4:23 AM Darren, Nice poem. A great example of excellent vocabulary usage. It has inspired me to expand my word-hoard. Thank you. BTW: Here is the decipher for "Unwanted Flower" It is about Marijuana, and how hard working Americans loose their jobs (mandatory drug screening) over a legal (some U.S. states) natural plant. Darren White March 17, 2017 at 4:27 AM Ahhh, thank you! Love that :)

Anne-Lise Andresen March 17, 2017 at 3:54 AM - A beautiful picture, Darren ... a light show in beautiful colors ... you will never forget - // Anne-Lise :) Darren White March 17, 2017 at 3:59 AM Exactly, Anne-Lise, I miss seeing it... a lot :)

Doug Vinson March 17, 2017 at 2:09 AM Darren. : ) Your words are deft and enticing, leading the reader on. 27 years ago I saw a great Aurora in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada - so fast moving, like the wind was rippling and flapping a giant white sheet overhead, covering half the sky. Darren White March 17, 2017 at 2:17 AM So beautiful, isn't it Doug? Only... was it white only? That would be such a shame, because the colours are absolutely smashing!
