Wood Nymphs
What light is this in striated beam?
comes peeking through the silvered clouds
on this night so dark,yet warm
Where comes the sound of waters stilled
that alone the call of a night owls shriek
echoes through forests of old
The gentle brushing of wood nymphs wings
a contrast to calloused skin
may invite you to a dreamland
where only you and they may go
Erase the bitter taste of bile
with the nectar of the night
arise upon soft gossamer wings
let them take you on their flight

I will leave...
the more technical stuff for those that remember all the rules and of how they apply. Your grasp of the forest at night, is phenomenal. I have been in the forest at night to hunt and I felt that you could be sitting along side of me, watching and waiting for the prey. Nice job. ~ Gee.

I thank you so much. I wasn't thinking about old William as I was never fond of his witing. Oh dear now me I am in trouble for saying that.

Hello, Chrys,
Like Jerry, the first stanza reminded me of Romeo, and then your poem went to a level of magical delight. Thank you for this captivating journey!
