A Musing Tell
She slips into my mind a whispered thought about an untold tale or sentiment I must reveal. No matter how it’s wrought, conception must occur. Though transient, it stays so I may grasp a truth which lies like fecund seed or sprout in fallow field which yearns for life. Its future or demise may be a revelation yet revealed. Dependent on a mood or time’s constraint, that new insight is mulled. Fruition’s taste upon the tongue is savored; flavor’s faint but spice from each embellishment will haste a dish filled with delight for all to see. The picture of a thought she gave to me. ·······  ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner       |

Hi Larry,
 Wow! What a fantastic sonnet filled with lots to ponder! I always enjoy your personification and I especially enjoy this stanza: it stays so I may grasp a truth which lies like fecund seed or sprout in fallow field which yearns for life. Its future or demise may be a revelation yet revealed. There is just something about this that grows on me! It's like the muse is fully aware of the power of positive or negative thought here.  Fruition’s taste upon the tongue is savored; (LOVE that!)  Overall Larry, a very enjoyable read! ~Cleo  ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
