Silent Guises

How blissful natures pause reigns		
the vibratory hum greedily gleaned		

Cicadas buzz call transport
the soft rustle of maples branches sport 

The three-part tune “whip poor will” 		
The acorns rattle on the window sill		

All of natures silent prizes
Bring joy and wonder in silent guises.

Oh, my...Cicadas and whip-poor-wills put in gracefol words. Reminds of my youth. Thanks for thoughtful comments on "DUI". No more mystery here...Son killed by a DUI in '01, just trying to get home from work. Went through the whole court thing with MADD by our side. Got to speak our peace at the sentencing...watch them put on the handcuffs and lead him away...so enough with my rambling! Your new friend, Tim

Nice. lol, you commented on a cupl of poems, ...A want, and Superbia. Both of which were written in a generic manner, not with me in mind. And if you look up superbia in the dictinry, ull know that the poem is in context. A want, was written about human nature and what a human mind lusts. Rim, in Superbia, (in context) means ...limit. The poems were not meant for me, and in no way was it to show that i am greedy (for cookies..funi ?), or that i am over-confident. and btw, this is an amazn poem ?
