Magic wings of evening time, lost, a button dropped
A silk tie lies upon the clock that abruptly stopped
Frozen bitter is my stare; I ought not have tarried there
It was I who flew into our nest of love, to be fair
Like a red ant your painful sting and blistering mark
Our moon blinked and sadly left me in the dark
So well written!

My dearest honeybun
I have tears in my eyes ….
1. Your poem is absolutely divine. I should say beyond divine
“It was I who flew into our nest of love, to be fair
Like a red ant your painful sting and blistering mark
Our moon blinked and sadly left me in the dark”
I flew in a nest of love and … I was left in the dark. Wow. the impact of this imagery is unbelievable. Joni, you have this capacity to transform words into images and images into words, my dear. You are fantastic. I love your poems. Your talent shines and inspires.
2. Thank you. I am humbled by the photo you used. Honeybun, I have no words to express my gratitude for everything you’ve done for me. I am speechless…
Wishing you the loveliest and the most blessed weekend ever. May love and may the muse be with you.
Love you Joni. I’ll get back to you soon.

Finding words like that for places like that… places that don’t show up on any map…
It means something, that you fund words there –
and helps others to mean something too.
– John (Woodsy)
Sometimes,
I find myself
with just an empty bag,
a cold thing
that seems always to be frightened in some way
and
a world of hurt,
daring me not to be defeated
when there is nothing but meanness in its victory.
Sometimes,
I’m just looking for a brand of hug they don’t make anymore
and a small warm cup of forgiveness
for trying to rebuild myself in your leftovers.
