Very fine, Silent! Images vivid, focussed. Makes me wonder if my mind, while almost always enjoying, has really been able to encompass all the disparate images in some of your longer poems. In comparison, this is down and dirty, and I like it like that! Tom

SL, I love this! Love the coupling of the tigers in the jungle, and the dragonflies over the stream.

And 'silk' to the 'inner ear' -- well, that's just unbeatable.

Wonderful writing!

A poet dares be just so clear and no clearer.... He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it. A poet utterly clear is a trifle glaring. ~E.B. White

SL, I love this too - such resonance and richness. The only thought I have is the coupling of "brisk" and "June afternoon".... not sure why

Will return for more reads for sure,

Smiles for you, k

dear Tom

fine to hear that the stepping stones here
were placed easily within reach.

gardening is indeed sometimes a topographical view.
so many zen gardens are designed
as if they were being watched
from above.

i am grateful for your own unwavering authenticity
and your kindness to tell it like it is...
a pleasure to know this one
rang true for you.

Silent--A pleasure to read this morning. Beautiful images painted here that brought a smile to my face. Only small comment I have is that I agree with Kevin, for some reason 'brisk' just doesn't seem to work with 'june' for me. Thanks for bringing you silk jungle to this inner ear.

dear Kevin

for me this question of "brisk" is something more similar to vivacious or invigorating,
and for my ear seems to work well when reading the poem aloud

thanks for bringing that up

and glad to hear that voice was pleasing.

wondering how i missed this one. delightful images throughout, especially under the umbrella shade watching those dragonflies. honestly, brisk didn't flag for me on my first read, and now after reading others comments, i still don't think it is out of place. keep it and let it roll, a nice read sl. -lawrence

it feels good to know that you were here to share the view.
