Hi Leanne, lovely dark and mysterious here. Your descriptions are so juicy.

"A sound mind in a sound body is a short but full description of a happy state in this world"... Juvenal. What a "Rare bird" he was. :) My very best regards, Leanne. :) john

Interesting chap....that Juvenal. Must delve into further. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juvenal

Hmmm, interesting. Will look into that quote. I would like to say at this juncture, I doubt my sanity most days, particularly when I cannot stop writing. Thankfully I am sound of body. I shall go read about Juvenal and raising children...at this point, mine's off on her own adventures and my stories are my children. Thanks John. :)x

Hi Leanne, let it be known. Youre a favorite of mine. Actually you are warm and kind eventhough this brilliantly written piece is about darkness but I understand you. Intelligent and evocative. Also read the comments and I would love to collaborate with you but Im a bit stupid as to how. Cay Cay asked me first but Im so ADHD and hectic here. Live Jannie

love it. Yes, you are uber strong. Throw me a few ideas. x ...I think we get I'm no flaming saint. As far as motherhood and sisterhood goes, I deserve a flaming GOLD medal. I'll be the first to blow my own trumpet on that one. Look forward Jannie, to swapping brains over a poem maybe. :)

So unique and wildly entertaining Leanne! It never fails, I read you in the morning with my brain fog fully entrenched and your writing helps me to escape, although I'm on my second coffee and still not sure what it all means, I need to take a de-coding class or something...I guess...lol!

...believe me, I wonder where it (my brain) goes sometimes too, constantly. It has been my observation, in this place, that we are all here entertaining the idea of escaping something, whether we want to or not, is another matter entirely. I must go and check out songs from "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest". "Let Me Entertain You", I think that was from Gypsy. Anyhow on with the day! P.S. I am not Nurse Ratched.

Fascinating the way you put your productions together. Amazing talent. Really perfect. I especially like the honesty, your eagerness to hold jewels of artistic creation in light, to simply enjoy the refractions. When it comes to true Dark and Light--we only see the shadows of both. Great collaboration!

Thanks Joe. My story entirely. No 'collaboration'. I was inspired though by Jame's phrase Vanilla Villains. I'm a Lone Wolf howling. Who'd collaborate with me? Lol...

how rare, the black swan until it is seen, how rare is love until it is felt, how rare is the darkness not illuminated by light

Yes Monsieur Parker. One has to ask though, who in this story is the Black Swan? There will remain the mystery. Regards, Agatha.

Excellent Pantoum Leanne...great choice of music too my friend...stay in the poetic light...^WW^

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton

Always. However, it has been my experience that to attract the light, to stand in the light, the walk through darkness is required. As always, thank you WW.

Great music to accompany your great words Leanne. You and Peter Murphy are both such cool cats with awesome talent and depth.

Vanilla Villains inspired me James. Thank you for the inspiration. Your mind is astounding, it certainly got my mind flowing....So thank you. Stay true. Lots of cool cats purring in this beautiful Black Pearl World here.

I wouldn't recommend jumping to any fast and wild conclusions. A work of fiction on page or off...this is left to the reader's total imagination. Thank you Imtiaz.
