“Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.” – Carl Sandburg. Glowing like the roused firefly glows, Stirring souls, poetry just knows, Love, fire, boldest winds of desire, Rains blessing, song without a choir. Words pouring out soft, gentle prose, Glowing like the roused firefly glows, Glistening dreams, love to extremes, Beckoning from silence that screams. Dance of dances, fluid verses, Poetry that grace coerces, Glowing like the roused firefly glows, Poems who don’t just tell but shows. Rhymes and rhythms, tenderly abide, Singing of light, sometimes wild-eyed, Hearts might remain in the shadows, Glowing like the roused firefly glows,

Your picture to go with your poem is absolutely epic. "Love, fire, boldest winds of desire," is one of your best lines. Congratulations on your win in my contest. I like it when poetry shows, not tells.

This poem-pic combo gives me goosebumps, Gina. Positively phantasmagoric in the finest sense of that word! Excelsior! ~ Gershon

Fabulous poetry Regina and a quite captivating image. It is fascinating to hear poets try and articulate how it is to be a poetic spirit. In one sense it is only an explanation fellow poets can fully understand in all it's mystery and emotion and ethereal qualities. Blessings, Sam:) x (fav)
