timid tambourine

can shivering in pain be heard,
taut timbre ~ now memories...
the sound is real ~ pain forgotten
yet heard like iced limbs shaken
and crash where summer thunder reigned
~ now fall in icy silence...

Written Jan 29 for Nette's "Connect the Dots" contest

Dear Craigsz, Iv been wanting to visit you way before I got on here with a blog and poem, to thank you! I learned so much from you, youv been a great mentor for me. And for that I just want to thank you before i begin praising this evocative poem. Your poems always have that soul stirring touch that always makes my heart skip a beat as i read! This poem flows with so many emotions and i cant help but feel so much and i especially love the line "the sound is real ~ pain forgotte wow! Hpw even! Fave for me ofcourse! And sending you and your family light always!

Inky!! Missed you and so awesome to see your warmth once more--you're a gift to all you touch...and remind me/us that, like the cherry blossoms (to be poetic) that summer is nigh----been hiding/escaping to Florida (thankfully) for the winter and looking forward to all those fruit trees blooming on the ride back north.
