[stylist] Let's get busy

[Barbara Hammel]

A sestina, huh?  I won't even pretend to understand it but I like how you 
kept it going by having her look in all the directions.
(I hate it that when we all copy stuff into the body of the e-mail that the 
format goes away.  Not your fault.)
I haven't written anything for a while due to writer's block but have been 
filling myself with poetry.

I was going to post and ask why these guys are considered classics but then 
Vejas dared to ask why his book was considered one--which I wholeheartedly 
agree with him about--but responses properly chastized me for my daring to 
wonder, too.

Hey ya'll. I'm tired of this group being so quiet, but I can't complain if
I also do not post anything. So here is a poem I wrote and am sharing just
to try and get some conversation started. I'll wait for comments and your
postings too. :) Eve


Desert Ghost



With howling in the wind

Towards the North she looks

Searching with her eyes

In the dark of night

For the elusive grey ghost

Approaching with a grace eternal



With grace eternal

Silent as the wind

An unseen ghost

With wonder she looks

Through the heart of the night

At a pair of glowing eyes



With ancient eyes

Eternal

Hidden in the night

Traveling on the wind

Towards the East she looks

To find the grey ghost



The misty grey ghost

With star reflected eyes

Moves swiftly as she looks

Just as the eternal

Highway of the night

Traveling far above the wind



The grey cloud above moves by wind

No faster than the grey ghost

Through the darkest hours of the night

Though the eyes

Eternal

See all on which she looks



To the South she looks

Following the path of the wind

On its journey eternal

She sees the grey ghost

Through the inner eyes

Moving still through the night



With howls carried by the wind she looks

With her glowing eyes through the darkness of the night

As would any desert ghost with grace eternal
