Second times the charm or is it the third time? I have heard it both ways. Have you?
Over in the Garden, Fireblossom asked us to share a poem that we thought our best. I love the idea, but struggled with it. After reading several of my poems-I see errors and things I wish I had done different...but this is part of the process. So, here is my offering...
It was posted on my other blog, Ella's Font-so it may be new poem-for some of you. I don't have a best poem-not yet!

*FairyDream9*
Lone Wolf
I caught the moon bleeding light
winking at me
dreams dangling
lost amongst a
sea of black Swarovski crystals
Mom told me
timelessly he flirts
netting many dreams
Marilyn Monroe almost caught him
his Jekyll n' Hyde
tendencies,
too much for her
Setting off my wilderness
once a month I am
captivated
serenaded by Moon flowers
Beeswax candles drip pooling light
but we will never
walk the red carpet ============
he a lone wolf
golden jackal roaming
his love call
heard by all
I released him back into the wild
He is perched
on his nightly throne
looming
holding a grudge
I prefer the strong, silent time
he watches me
silvery orb
winks
he belongs to no one
and to all.

Isn't going back and re-writing allowed? I mean if it's not in a published book yet - it's okay to rethink and make better, isn't it? Perfectionism is a curse! LOL
Createology-I can't see it-I do love to walk under the umbrella of stars~
Thank you~
Hannah-Thank you! He does enchant us all~ I love to see him swoon the sea- @>-------
Peggy-Thank you! It always amazed me how many babies were born around the full moon. The pull of gravity- Yes, there is lots of romance encompassing the moon! :D
Brian-Is it? I can't wait-I love to walk at night and chase my memories ;D Thank you~
Susie-Thank you! I love what you shared-I can see that. I tried to rework an older one and it had a ruined feel-I will remember your words~ Thank you~
Yolanda-Yes, of course, but if I loved it then I should leave it alone! I see many I will rework for a book and I have some new stuff. I do think my heart was in this one and I left it alone, but I can see a lot of reworking others and you are right it is still our voice. Thanks Yolanda!
Tis true...I do have my moments-at times lol ;D

Thank you!! We had fun with that one-
Corey-Thank you! Yes, it does have a tug of war effect on us all~ I had fun with this one! Yes, a bit of dark enchantment ;D
Aditi-Yes, the moon is a fickle one and it is best we let me be the pretty boy from afar ;D Thank you!
Kerry-Thank you! Yes, this night light in the sky casts its own spell on all of us~ I think we all know a lone wolf~
