Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Gentle Zephyrs

Where do they go, these ghostly figures
From our famous Poetry Soup site
They're loyal fans for a month or so
Then poof... this apparition takes flight

Like gentle zephyrs, they float in and out
We really don't get to know them
Consensus is, they may not exist
Just an illusion from somebody's pen

Glory be, who are these strange creatures
I'm sure they'll cause us no harm
Just some figments of the creative process
They don't mean to set off an alarm

Wish they would stay around for a while
So we could get to know them a bit
The next Shakespeare could be among them
Or the next Carol Eastman... what a wit!

Carol Eastman April 22, 2013 at 9:18 AM That's Me! That's Me!... Wayyy Coool! Boy is my dragon going to be jealous!My Hubby's going to see this one, too... You want me to get my dragon to round up those Zephyrs? It might give him some thing constructive to do... And he's as flighty as they come... Get it.. Dragon, Flighty, Fly... I'll put him on it... as soon as I can get him of my favorite couch... LOL Jack Ellison April 22, 2013 at 3:04 PM As I said to Russell, if it wasn't for you and him, I'd get very few responses! Big squishy hugs! xoxoxox
