"The Sky is the daily bread of the imagination."Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cosmic Sugar or Brilliance For The Appetite
Catching stardust thru the night On the tongue in dreams of flight Taste of cool and minty ice Sky of banquet to entice
Sprinkled sugar in the skies Sweet temptations on the high Quite the buzz from just one lick Such a menu....what to pick
Rolled and sweet, as milky way Constellations point the way Shooting stars of bursting flavor On the tongue to slowly savor
Meteors and creamy stars Inspirations from afar Raven table of delights Brilliance for the appetite
Cosmic Sugar
PAX A 5/25/06 (c)A Pax The creative person is both more primitive and more cultivated, more destructive, a lot madder and a lot saner, than the average person. ~Frank Barron, Think, November-December 1962

Wild imagination that's right down my alley. Love this.
Reminds of those pixie stix straws with like the kool-aid powder inside! Faery dust I pour into the palm of my hand and lick the cosmic Big Bang! You created something new and unique here, Pax!
Oh Dear Pax . . .
You are one of a kind!
"Quite the buzz from just one lick" pretty much sums up the joy reading you brings me.
How much you partake of, and savor, life, and what is around you.
Forgive me if I seem a copycat, but I was reminded of a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"The sense of the world is short
Long and various the report
To love and be beloved
Men and gods have not outlearned it
And, how oft soe'er they've turned it
Tis not to be improved."
Thankyou for your inspiration

Perfect rhyme and rhythm, Anita. Hold onto that gift for it seems to be fading in the current literary universe. One day, your work will be a rare jewel in the vast sky of poetry. I'm a big fan of Emerson so I love the quote.
I envision a group of pixie elves flying around a perfect night sky singing this song as the sparkle of their fairy dust floats to the earth to match the brilliance of the stars. When a poem stirs that kind of wonderful image in this old brain of mine you know you have done a great piece. Thank you.
this is lovely! I love the imagery! sadly this is my first time visiting one of your pages..but I promise to be back :) Take care..and don't eat too much sugar..messes with the blood pressure something awful :P
