1. So beautiful. Complements (as usual) my words, and I even have David Lindley playing the fiddle. “Heart-held”–yes, exactly. (K)

   • Thank you very much, Kerfe.
     Yes, our poems do complement each other.
     And funny about the fiddle. 🙂

     • A fiddle enlarges almost any song.

     • Very true, Kerfe.

2. like that moon, that dripped
   quicksilver in summer heat, gone,

   A shimmering liquid image

   • Thank you so much, Derrick. 💙

3. This is absolutely wonderful, Merril! Beautiful, truly.

   • Thank you so much, Dale!

     • You know it 🙂

4. That’s lovely! Especially that final stanza.
   How strange (not) that the Oracle gave you this all in a rush at dawn. I think my poem was about you/your fiddler. It’s the same message, follows on from yours.

   • Thank you very much!
     Yes, usually the Oracle doesn’t just give me a poem right away like that.
     It makes sense that your poem would be about my fiddle. 🙂

     • They’re enmeshed without being exactly the same.

     • Yes. 🙂

5. I love the last stanza in particular. It gives me something to hold onto.

   • Thank you very much, Liz. I’m glad you feel that way!

     • You’re most welcome, Merril!

6. Beautiful words from The Oracle, Merril!

   • Thank you very much, Ingrid!

7. Thanks to The Oracle and to Merril for fiddling with words. I liked this muchly –

   • Thank you so much, Susan!

8. Ahhh. Beautiful, Merril. Silver moon and your golden words.

   • Thank you very much, Rose!

9. So lovely. I’m really taken just by the first three words, “If shadows me.” I admit I had to reread a couple of times before I realized, “oh, it’s THAT if” … lol.

   • Thank you!
     I sometimes forget when I write that people are actually reading what I have inside my head. 🤣
