The Ivory Tower

Its like a scene of a good fight, Soul. You can win only when there is coordination. Good write.

So very true Dear Grace-Thank You for being here:)

Dear Soul this is a new side of you fierce and beautiful.. I like it!!! peace Brenda

What a compliment-Thank You Dear Crim :)))
I've been trying to change things up from time to time...styles or directions...just to dabble and hopefully learn something--means much Crim!!!

"drench papered roses
cracking foundation
with thorn and thistle
catching coloured fabrics
floating on a breeze" <--gorgeous incredible lines.

Your ink never cease to amazing me, Soul! Xo

You are too sweet to me Dear Rain!!!
Thank You always for stopping by!!!

Very nice lines Soul painting an imminent ferocious battle against the archers; goes well with the image as well!

(What a coincidence...I just wrote a poem about the silent witness to the civil war after I went to Gettysburg battlefields yesterday.)

Thanks Engr. :)
Cant wait to see the post Sir-Gettysburg eh...That's near Pops and about an hour and a bit from me...Im a hop and skip from Antietam and Harpers Ferry...right in between -Gettysburg is done very nice these days...wish they'd sink a little more moolah into Antietam...it's gone down some...

You're welcome Soul...

Harper's Ferry is about half an hour from where I live in Frederick and Gettysburg is about 45 minutes drive...you can see posting of Gettysburg pics in my FB acct. I don't know why I can't post an image in my poems anymore, except in comps.

...Shit Engr...I'm calling lunch someday Jose' hell...I'm in Falling waters... :D

yeah, sounds good to me... maybe a round of drinks too!

Soul you are so good at pieces like this one its always fun to see what you come up with next.


Red

Awwww You made me smile so Big Red Thank You Dear...So very glad to see You...You have been VERY missed!!!

Awe inspiring...

Hashman Always good to see You drop in-Thank You for the kind comment!!!

The Ivory Towers of this world are tumbling already and from within.  The link to the civil war makes this poem interesting. I think we may be on the virge of a civil war between the haves and the have-nots. Finally for reasons I cannot understand, I have had an interest in the Civil war and visted the battlefields.  I live in a subdivision with street names like Appomatox, Fredricksburg, Antietam.....
Your poem is brilliant in both breadth and depth
Kitty

I concur it does seem to be heading that way fast!!!
Neat :) I had a deep distaste for it myself for years...loved the key points of it...but not the nuts n bolts so to speak...it was crammed down our throats here from elementary(im near Antietam)...didn't help my Father was a Civil War buff hahahaha Now like You I can openly embrace it...the knowledge with interest.
You are very kind kitty-Thank You :)
If You are up this way again for such a jaunt...look for Harpers Ferry...it is well preserved and in the summer months people wear period dress do tours and such...many little hometown shops open for baked goods and old time candy...much happened there ...if You don't know of it already search it--interesting part of the War

it's a rousing poem of battle that takes me back. back too far...

Hahahahaha Thanks for dropping by John ;)

Simply Beautiful and intense with a lingering
ache for more...

your writing is magnificent


Fire
