Interlocking Shadows

silhouettes slow
  dancing under
     golden moon
        embracing light
 
music soothes
  wounds, healing
     between notes


Sharing with Poets United

The Septolet is a poem consisting of seven lines containing fourteen words with a break in between the two parts. Both parts deal with the same thought and create a picture.

    I think dancing like that can always heal... cheek to cheek.

    I really like the photo and the poem that you wrote. Music can work minor miracles, I think....good for healing the hurting soul!

      Music can work miracles one just needs to find the right melody.

    And as the shadows interlock, both are lightened.... Nicely told.

    The poem captures the picture perfectly, and in so few words. Lovely. Now... if only the wife knew how to dance. I usually end up dancing by myself, like a dork.

      ha - nothing wrong with dancing alone..just turn up the music and move to the beat maybe, she will play along :)

    It is often the space in-between that heals wounds - be it words..music or breaths - a clever use of form and image.. and of course words!

    You definitely created a picture. Further, you gave it an action--healing--which made it more magical yet.

    Hey human, Truedessa
    It's me, the professor
    Professor Pup
    And a poetic cup
    That runneth over
    Just like Rover

    Your words of dance
    Make me prance
    At a glance
    A silhouette romance
    Nicely done
    Some pawetic fun
    I'm on the run

    Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses,

    Penny, Penny, loves so many.....
