To cut it short:
Yesterday I had a photo...
 |
| ... but no words. |
- with thanks to the esteemed Jams O'Donnell Esq. -
a fullmoonant poem by The Topaz of Poetry.
Hesitating to click the link?
Trust McSeanagall's words (which, by the way, apply to each poem of William Topaz McGonagall):
Poetry at its peak,
each word of praise
would be too weak.
A fine photo, and a fine poem!
ReplyDeleteHaha, D.E.,
ReplyDeleteyou were faster than me noticing there was none and thus quickly adding a foolmoonant title.
Gosh, above's sentence is one for Stan. However, who am I to withhold our friend a delight. :)
I love the photo, and there's no doubt it's the moon (and not an earthbound orb) that's shining such an atmospheric arc on those leaves.
ReplyDeleteLast night, in a children's poetry book, I read 'Silver' by Walter de la Mare. It's a very different order of poem to McGonagall's, but very enjoyable in its own way.
And very different to his 'The Orgy - An Idyll', Stan.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
Glad, D.E. and you like the photo. I was not sure wheter to post it or not. Somehow I am a bit moonstruck, these months.
Ahh now the photo is just perfect without words :-)
ReplyDeleteRE: Photo and poem. Speechless....
ReplyDeleteMylady, not only that your words give evidence of that your taste is exquisite; they let rise my heart - like a falcon - with joy up to the sky ...
ReplyDeleteThe peace of the night.
Oh, Claude,
ReplyDeletethat I'd live such a moment ...
[How nice to know that some contemporaries would not mind my sometimes strange sense of humour]
Beautiful Moon, with thy silvery light,
ReplyDeleteShine on Sean and give him delight;
He looks up in loco, agape, agog,
and thinks 'what a photo for my blog'.
My dear Andrew,
ReplyDeleteand thus your poem (Thank you!) becomes a Limerick:
The peace of the night.
Andrew is in a very poetic mode at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to his full translation of a classic verse as discussed in one of his recent posts :-)
Ah yes CP, the Rubaiyat (or Rubbishycrap) of AndrewtheMan. Not promising though, but perhaps such a post will appear one day.
ReplyDeletePresently, I'm wondering if it was wise of me to mention FitzOmar on Andrew's recent post (Time on the Tower). Sorry, Andrew, I tried to link you here, and didn't succeed. Still a neophyte.
ReplyDeleteWhat's done is done, Claude! (as FitzOmar almost said).
ReplyDeleteAnd whatever happens with it now will be all your fault :)
As long as you give me part of the glory and of the money if Rubbishycrap of AndrewtheMan becomes as famous as the Persian Poet's work.
ReplyDeleteThere may be a problem for both of us with sharing out the royalties Claude, if our global success and recognition takes as long to arrive as Omar's. But I'll acknowledge it now: Claude was my Muse (or Amuse?)
ReplyDeleteA full moon ant? Is that the insect that nibbles away the full moon?

ReplyDeleteI love the full moon... I took several photos of the full moon a few weeks ago in Turkey as well... there is something so wonderful and mystical about the brightness in the middle of the night...
ReplyDeletePS: I found a grammatical mistake in my comment, so I corrected it... being away from English for 2 months effected my ability write fluently I guess... :):)
Ah your photo makes the perfect accompaniment to William T's sublime work!
ReplyDeleteCherryPie,
ReplyDeleteoh, that I missed this very comment-party on the tower.
Glad to see the work in progress, though.
Claude, Andrew,
fame upon you!
Bertus,
ha ha! Ant or not ant. There is a nibbling creature, as my next posting will prove.
Nevin,
never ever worry. Grammatical mistakes like everything are part of Omnium.
Jams,
the moon and McGonagall - somehow a symbiotic relation, indeed.
Didn't many philistines wish to shoot the Topaz of Poetry to the moon?
