Through My Window

through my window I watch for signs of her
but my muse cannot be seen
in starkly barren trees

I thought I caught a glimpse of my beloved
in a winter dove’s white breast
but then she soared away

Stephen Kilmer Date: 1/31/2014 9:54:00 PM Ah to catch a glimpse of a muse. What a treat. Which of the nine daughters of Zeus were you looking for? They can be allusive and suffocating. I talk to them often down by the river. ~Kilmer Login to Reply

Daver Austin Date: 1/31/2014 10:07:00 AM Yes, musing through the window. I can identify completely. Just wrote one to precede V day that would go along with yours. Love, daver Login to Reply

Daver Austin Date: 1/23/2014 8:53:00 AM Hi Andrea. I can only deduce that use of a title - The Owl and the Pussy Cat, by Eugene Field - is against some law.. If use of the word pussy has been taken to mean something sexual I say this is ludicrous. I mean to contact the soup and ask them what the hell is going on. Thanks, daver Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/23/2014 8:02:00 PM you are cracking me up!!! well, I have soupmailed you the meaning. hahahaha

Joe Maverick Date: 1/23/2014 2:02:00 AM I shall have to try this style of write sometime Andrea, hope it gets you a win in Nettes contest..' Login to Reply Andrea Dietrich Date: 1/23/2014 8:22:00 AM no it did not get a win. She took issue with it using two syllables for beloved instead of three.
