Notes About The Poem

Mist Rise

Ah, disperse, dissolve, deploy, aqua vitae, 
all through the depth of primal forest rise,
turn the shades of green toward blue-gray.
Soften shades of purple shadows, disguise,
and bath the chill of night with damp display. 
Ah yes, rise to treetops and tors, comply, 
and hide the prey from predators this night,
blanket the woods in opalescent white.

Beautiful, Debs. I love the word opalescent! It's always such a cool word to use in a poem like this one.

Now, THAT is what I call good rhyme. Good to hear you're writing today. Me? I'm in freak out mode... too much housework. I am NOT a housewife, I'm a mother-educator. Ha! I may throw the dishes off the balcony today, I'm that unglued. @#$%! Miss you. Big time. xoxox

Good job with the form Debbie. By the time I got through I was referring to it as "Ottava screama"
