Dancing Cranes

Autumn’s moon,
is brightly arrayed.
The mounted jewel,
crests its ring.
As dancing cranes,
beneath it sing.
And the garden’s blooms,
sway with the breeze.

Magnificent, you should be proud.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Light

[light and ashes]

You are very welcome..You did a fine job.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

What lovely verse and vision. I really like the artwork too, is it yours? The abrupt perspective is reminiscent of Japanese art which I've always been a fan of.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I'm afraid the artwork is mine :) I don't have a good eye for drawing but that doesn't keep me from trying.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Well, I think you did wonderfully. I like to draw too but my eight year old is a real artist. She's quite remarkable for her age. She just sent a picture she drew in markers off to her sister in Alaska. I was like, She's going to frame this...

[Cherrie Palmer]

That is exciting to watch. See her grow in creativity and skill.

Oh how I do so love to read your poems dear cherrie.
Yours will be the last and most wonderful one this evening that I read, as I now must go and finish making the fish stew I started hours ago...

The consummation of art and skill (on your part) truly enhances the dance. Such an eloquent piece, Cherrie!

cranes are art
many cultures place them in a point of 'spiritual reverence'
your write gives life to their 5 letter species

i am most fortunate to live where the crane can make appearances now and then to my chicken/duck enclosure to take a meal from their troughs
30+ min drive i can view thousands and thousands of swans and snow geese for their winter residence
what a grand world we do live ... except for the creature man

and they do dance, their songs in a tune of their own

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes their rhythm is unique and graceful.

dearest Cherrie.. my daughter gave me two Artistic Rose metal Cranes standing Tall for our Front Yard. They Greet each day and Season with renewed Amazing Grace. Your words have captured the Beauty of touching 💕 hearts. tenderly, Pat

This poem has nice cadence. Maybe it's just me, and billigami, but it felt like an origami mobile of words. Cranes made of metal and spinning around in the breeze.

I've been trying to catch up with everyone. Thought I'd read Cherrie today expecting to spend the day reading a dozen new poems. Surprised to only find one. Hope all is well with you?

[Cherrie Palmer]

It's been to hectic to write ✍️ this semester football games, band and ROTC. the kids keep me on the move.
The pull to squeeze in a poem here and there is growing so. I think I will be writing again very soon.
Funny thing is I think of a good poem unfolding. A origami in reverse (so to speak). The title catches your eye then it unfolds before the reader, revealing its bounty.

[Red Brick Keshner]

Loving the title of this Cherrie! And the image and movement along a story line brings it full circle. TFS.
