MY POETIC THANK YOU (RED MAN'S REPLY ' A SUBTLE CARESS')
my poetic thank you
ah but true pleasure is a painting
that we must stand so to best take in
twas a fine restoration we made
so with an ear to a dove I listen
for the rustle of your approach in the far off wind
his reply to this off the cuff poem of mine
in of all things an off line!
ah
a poetry wits match
such the wind knows its place
in the fact that
this raven word raider
is indeed good just for that
sweet be the scheme of nature
its words are heard by those who listen closely
to its message
it tells the dove
the dove knows its telling
so it flies to its next place
why for it really does not know
but it suspects things have changed
for the dove is the image of the soul
it felt the power of that breeze
or perhaps it gave
the sweet fair maiden a kiss
and its power warmed the wind
to that of
'A Subtle Caress'
just such as this.......................
written to and then from my
long ago chat pal Red man
