she
pale as sandpiper prints
pale as sandpiper prints
in a wrinkle of infinity
she flies at that easy hour
catches the potbellied moon
rides past a crescent of sand
seaweed laced
with driftwood beads
a blink of stars, a tiny smile
she slides out through the sky
on wings of sparrow sighs
she flies at that easy hour
catches the potbellied moon
rides past a crescent of sand
seaweed laced
with driftwood beads
a blink of stars, a tiny smile
she slides out through the sky
on wings of sparrow sighs

Je vous salue, Tumblewords!
So tight, so supple, so firm... Every single word is exquisite, but if I had to pick a single image that stands out above the rest, it would be:
pale as sandpiper prints
in a wrinkle of infinity
Truly beautiful!
Nifty and very delicate, starting with the title. The images may be distinct but they don't clash, but rather add together different facets.
This works exceptionally well. Great words.
delicate
I like "she flies at that easy hour", which has a lovely swing.
Delicate and beautiful like a sparrow sigh.
So many lovely thought and images throughout, you chose those words to cut up VERY well..
Beautiful. No question at all. The sense of wings into flight lifts with every phrase expressed, light and delicate! And "sparrow sighs" comes to the end just perfectly.
Beautiful Sue. Your images are stunning. I just love it.
BTW-Having trouble with my URL again.
Someone posting in my name. I have changed my sites name to Cassiopeia Rises. Bx and I have been trying to find out how this happened. My web page is:

If you could change my ID for me it would help a great deal.
love,Melanie
nicely done....thanks for sharing this
The art is wonderful. The poem makes me think of fairies
"A blink of stars" is lovely. Well done.
This is absolutely exquisite Sue. I'm going back for a re-read. The artwork, perfect!
I like the alliteration -- even as a cut-up the repeated "s" sounds helps tie it all together. My favorite lines were "seaweed laced // with driftwood beads" :-)
ps Thanks for visiting my blog!
from Therese L. Broderick-- I agree with all praise above. The vowel assonance is very lovely. I love how the entire poem is without punctuation except for after the word "blink" -- as if that comma is an unexpected blink. Quite entrancing!
