The Time Before the Sun (poem) by Karla Dorman, The StormSpinner on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on February 21, 2009

darkness lounges in the sky owned by the stars -- hush, is the voice of fluent language skills -- a poet clings to its mystery, in search of the Muse of extinguished light -- ruler of the creative night -- tap tap, tap tap, I stroke the keys of black, seeking beauty before "the time of the sun" -- this poem reveals great depth in your thoughts of how to best present this subject to a reader Karla -- much peace and love to you my dear friend -- Jon Michael

Ahhh. "The time before the sun made for Poets." Yes. And that is the time made for poets. I'm there, too, tap-tap-tapping away in my own corner. We have a lot in common. ;0)

PERFECT! Karla, you're inspiration. I love seeing the sky from your doorway, too, especially since I've probably been rooting around on the very same night.

Really nice writing Karla, and I enjoyed the photo...I took one very similar to this one myself...and I won't delete it because I love it! hugs...lindalaw.... Oh Karla... I went to computer class today and learned how to "stitch photos" together....Have you ever done that? I downloaded a program Canon photostitch....and you can take several pix's of the same area or group...and stitch them together so that they make one panoramic view! I was so excited!!! Teacher said our little regular Digitals are perfect to use and we can get the same good quality as fancy expensive models!! Cool huh... hugs, lindalaw

Again we connect, dear Karla. Perhaps the only joy
of sleeplessness is in that hush before the dawn where
the minds of poets meet. -gene.

You are (really) the only one I know who can turn a solid black rectangle with only the tiniest smidge of white moon ... into a work of art!!! And have the audacity to put a beautiful poetic thought with it :-)

That picture is really provocative--just one little slice of moon in a dark universe. Nice poem, and it probably is a good time for poets--and poetic thoughts.
