Cobweb Wishes

A virgin wish, coupled with passion-a spray of luck-ambition, can be foundation for sparkling things... a first flight -a newborn cry Gracefully treading nightmares in black finned nights. Turning a death rattle into melodies in pearl strung along the gilded wings of infinity. A greying wish is an opaque endeavor. It lends the hands to idling creasing the satin of reality. Old wishes dangle wearily from the ceiling like dying Faries in a cobweb dream.

Dear Anthony, your potent and poignant imagery paints a vivid portrait of "cobweb dreams". I especially enjoyed "black finned nights" and "death rattle into melodies in pearl/strung along the gilded wings of infinity" and your last two lines for a breathtaking finale. Superb! Congratulations for your win in Craig's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I'm glad you enjoyed it Susan, I thought it could have been polished up a bit more, but I have a lazy streak and just tossed it into the ring. God bless Anthony
