Glow

Glow

she had a strange light

all about her,

which she wore like a

pair of drawn

curtains, to let all her

shadows

   

breathe easy, she said ..

and while

those she did cast both

fore and aft,

appeared golden, not

one of her

 

disciples then glowed ..

but in that

moment she stumbled

  and fell, each

one of those disciples

  could tell she

was far from perfect

and her robe

was but sackcloth, hastily

  throwed ..

like a pair of drawn curtains :))) absolute A+++ metaphor my friend. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, does the cad about town quite like you sir. Reading your work is like sitting down with Cary Grant, Alfie, and the 2nd Earl of Rochester (in a good way!)

How extraordinarily mind blowingly and ego boostingly kind ... Not bad eh' x3 neogilsm's in a single sentence, must be some kinda personal best for me .. Cheers Ken .. Neville

She may not have been perfect and as to her disciples, they weren’t either. A sad tale yet told so well Neville. I saw her sat at the window in the glow of a night light. Good morning to you.

Wow! Neville your metaphor and choice of words is amazing. You never cease to amaze your readers. Like a fine wine, you are certainly getting better with time. Thanks for sharing such wonderful verse. :-)

Why bless you Tamara, I have just turned the shade of a nice young Beaujolais .. cheers, Neville

[Tamara Beryl Latham]

No problem, Neville. Just a note though. I will not be posting on this site for quite some time. Enjoy the holidays. :-)
