Helena

~ With embers rekindling strength upon the wind her pentacle calls reaching calm virgin heights of rippling memory Cradling mist of silence a song, gallant among soft trees sway She wanders woodland the path, pondering.... twinning facets of blue her dance, immerse soft dream of winter approach.. ~ Contest ~ "All The Little Pieces" June 23, 2011 Poet ~ Rick Parise

the words are magical and so poetic, Rick. It reads, indeed, like several haiku pieced together. Not exactly, but it has that "asian verse" feel to it. Is this a reference to Mt. Helena, by the way?? I love the last part, the last line is splendid. good night now. My LAST comment and I am finished at last!!!
