Legends

Legend

It's this moment

tucked and rolled

I have become 

an old woman

stomping out the stars

dancing on a promise of sunset 

whistled out of a beautiful

dream

If you will not come to me

 meet me there

where the summer of cool branches 

called

where a page or two await us

 inland 

 metaphysical inland, 

where The White Stag once dared to roam

 led to legends.

Welcome, and thank you Ken. I'm pretty sure you've stopped in before but it's been a minute :D I love your comments, I keep getting impressions of early summer breezes wafting in under branches when I read the story about poor Ghost, horrible thing they did.

dear Corset… a Legend in your own time…
when Stars shine the brightest… the Symphonies of Stars… when the Moon is Full. tenderly, Pat

[Corset]

Such lovely comments Pat, Thank you.

Sounds like a mystical place indeed and if I knew where it was, I might just be inclined to meet you there.
Really nice, I like how this felt to read this morning and so nice to see you posting a new one.

[Corset]

Scotland in my mind :D Thank you Willweb

[Wondering Mind]

Beautiful ..
How on earth or in heavens can one stomp out the stars? (What an expression, legend)
I wonder why Stag is with a capital S?
Care to share the reason?

[Corset]

I'm probably not interpreting the use of this def right but if not please help :D
When referring to a stag as a noun, such as “the white stag”, it is not necessary to capitalize “stag” unless it is at the beginning of a sentence. However, if you are referring to a specific stag with a name or title, then it should be capitalized. For example, “The White Stag” 1.

[Corset]

This is a specific stag named Ghost who was run down in a poachers truck and his beautiful head missing, I think was a 12 point rack

[Corset]

and Goood lord it's Wondering Mind, where the heck have ya been? Hope this gone crazy world is at least treating you well?

[Corset]

ps. cause we be amatur and we don't need no punctuations or proper grammers lol JK...it was a "thing" once...inside joke...thank you for helping me at least appear polished. heh.

[Corset]

[Corset]
