of early morn's dew, spirit of twilight's mist dark cherry wine's intoxication & comforts of a different rhyme those spaces that enchant musings toxic perfum'd lacings air filled of metaphorical blush'd smoke gasping for surrender 'tween honey'd breaths wafting in my mind of nectar'd burgundy enchantments
Great work as always, Frieda - such beautiful use of language and imagery!! "dark cherry wine's intoxication & comforts of a different rhyme" evokes a multitude of emotions and thoughts.
Somehow, I initially read "different rhyme" as "different time" when I first read it - perhaps that's what I had expected you to say. The line "air filled of metaphorical/blush'd smoke" is amazing too - I pictured a reddish-pink puff of smoke bursting in the air.
And one thing that makes your poems distinctly yours (as you probably know) is the 'ds at the end of certain words. Without your name on it, I still might say, "Must be a Frieda poem!" Wonderful and enjoyable to read.

Huge smiles here, you made my morning Eric, thanks so much for your glowing review!
This seems a deadly mix for a gaze into the morning mist. I lift the cup to my lips and then sip... in a moment there is this sense of "toxic intoxication and blush'd smoke" that seems to leave the mind riven. I lift my cup again to this...

I can see it. Perhaps goes well with pickled ginger.

You always make me hungry...pickled ginger is just my cuppa tea....
Beautiful fusion of words.... I have yet to reach this stage when I can go beyond technical and scientific and into the imaginative and emotional.... In my world, everything is numbers and facts.
Your softer side makes me feel all warm and gooey. Seriously, this is really good, with your own particular blend that is this mix of vocabulary, rhythm, and well placed apostrophes. Ha! Given my own proclivities it is amazing I can read your stuff without going mad. It is always a pleasure to see a little more of your heart.

Therapy for apostrophobia - sounds like a poem to me!
If you want to know me, read my poetry, it's all in there. I am a mother of three sons (my finest moments) a sister, a survivor and a little bit crazy. I lost my beloved sister to suicide, so you'll.. more..
