Tracking Time
an elliptic of stars
gentles near the center
rich with texture
and with ancient animus
the shape of myth
cosies from a flashing tail
wrinkled fabric
dribbles the string of all things
and wide along its crest
fire from ageless dragons
licks the frayed outer edge
of an elliptic of stars

Nice take on the Monkey King,
and another interesting path
sprung from Willow's prompt.
Terrific eye for detail, and
has a strong feeling of
history and tradition too.
I love the way your poem rolls off of my tongue when I read it aloud. It is really very beautiful.
What great rich imagery! I really like this one.
My goodness. You truly examined the piece while I merely glanced at it and said "ick".
Tumblewords Ma'am,
Short and sweet. Brilliant use of words tending to make it a show-piece.
Lovely.

Is "gentles" a verb here? If it is, I'd love to participate.
Good Magpie.

very sweet I like how you tied the beginning and the ending together.

I like how you described every detail of the necklace, in a creative, intriguing way. :)
Nice T. This piece has a lovely rhythm which just carrried me along. I need to spend more time with it to uncover its mysteries.

The magic of the photo is caught one hundred percent in these, your words. Thank you!
Lovely imagery and what a beautiful use of words.
I like most things elliptic. Such as this wonderful piece.
I love the last stanza...fire from ageless dragons... wonderful magpie.
Ah... you captured "the shape of myth"!
