I would like to nominate this poem found in Seren's Synapse, by JaxMyth. It is a very thought provoking powerful poem written with excellence. QUOTE Reflections in Silver by JaxMyth
I
You could smell the dead when the stone was rolled away. My father rose inside me, took my hands and head and turned me to the echoes reflected by the mirror's face, "Welcome back!" they said.
II
Mirrors, placed opposite in rooms reflect to infinity, reflect on the emptiness of, on the fullness of
infinity.
III
I do not like to walk along the shopping strip because the Butcher's window holds my father's face. He mirrors my expressions, apes my curling lip and always leaves me questioning his sense of place.
IV
Mirrors, should be buried with the dead. The dead should have one large mirror in their hands. They should have small mirrors placed on their eyes We should see ourselves in the dead.
The dead can hold us tightly in their hands. The dead can hold us in their eyes. We can be made of silver.
The dead are thin skinned and silver. Their eyes and tongues are silver.
Mirrors are silvered and thin skinned.
The skin of death is thin and is of silver.
Death can always be found in a mirror.

I would like to nominate this poem written by Snow and can be found in Herme's at Mam's Best Broach because of the pleasurable read, the sounds are just short of a lullaby, and the heartfelt story touches the reader with a powerful sense of humanity and the beauty of the poem is 'felt' through out. A must read for any reader looking to 'feel' a poem. QUOTE Mam's Best Broach (revision -- 10/04/07)
Dragonfly – your topaz dazzles like a yellow winged darter hovering over reminiscence. Camouflaged in amethyst you settle on her plum jacket, wings recalling fairies from her bed-time tales; they frolic amongst lavender and marigolds, dancing in my dreams.

Hello All,
I am off on vacation (NY) for a week, but I just wanted to wish everyone well and ask one of the mods/admin: could you please change "thicken" in this line---His blood slowly thickens into a bed of red roses ---back to "coagulates".
Thank you all and I wish you luck on this month's competition. Cheers! ~Tim

LOL! No problem Liz - it should be easier 'cos I'll be putting it into an .rtf file for the email on the 1st of May. You just need to play around with those indent tags on this forum's software to make it spaced like I did...... Best of luck! ~Cleo
