Ribbons of Curiously Spinning Tales

Morning rises in such extraordinary ways; touching on what is real

When you have been spinning round in fairy tales

Where stars are silver haired ladies whose souls have awakened

The smile carried deep in the pockets of mist filled clouds

Revealing an upside moon unveiled

North winds created doorways radiating single rays of light

That changed the stories old familiar taste

Within dreams a new flame burns on the rosy cheeks

Whose ears are now bent down to hear music

A sleeping soul will make

The heart of the sky melts into bowls; fills them to their brims

Full of sweet thoughts to save for a rainy day

Unlike the ones you read in those books you treasure

They dwell inside your heart softly listening

For you to come and play

Tangled up in fantastic ribbons of curiously spinning tales

One's imagination can escape innocently

Into places where everything flows purely fantastic

To carry on with them when morning rises

To touch upon their reality

Author's Note

I like to chase fireflies.............

We use to catch them as children but I wont ever tell you what we did with them after we captured them. The heart of a child is pure but their minds are wicked beyond belief. I wish I could remember more of my dreams. Someone once told me that when we dream it is actually our souls leaving our bodies and going on an adventure in the universe and we see it or remember in the form of a dream when we wake. A beautiful thought to me for many reasons. Beautiful write like your other works and other great pictures that you find for your poetry.

My favorite line is : The heart of the sky melts into bowls; fills them to their brims
Full of sweet thoughts to save for a rainy day. You have a wonderful sense of the power of imagery. I see it again and again in your poems. Here you use it so well to create an ephemeral dreamscape. Love it Neva!

[Sel Whiteley]

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

This is dream like and takes the mind to beautiful places, your poetry is the firefly we love to chase and read my friend.

[Adelia Alighieri]

This is what you're actually good at. Painting with words. I just love the way your words work for each other, how compatible they are. A stunning piece, it really was!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Wow. You really have a way with imagery.

[Skateprincess]

I love to catch fireflies and just sit outside and watch them. What a lovely poem and it flowed so nicely

[Joel M Frye]

The juxtaposition of the fantastic and the real at sunrise (or upon waking) is a lovely image, Neva. You are truly a genius at creating atmosphere. Thank you.

[Derek S.Keck]

What I really dig about your poetry Neva, is the fact that your work is often written within the frame ofthat broader theme about celebrating life and recognizing beauty when your there in it. Your eyes seem to see the heaven that exists in all things that persist at any given moment.

[Kelsie Eileen Stark]

Beautiful images, I would recall memories just like this. Beautiful!
