Sharon I enjoyed this thanks-I enjoy the snaps project -one bit I had a problem with here was 'no light to be heard' which for me came across a bit 'clever/trying too hard ' if that is the word Best wishes -what do I know anyway Patrick -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of sharon brogan Sent: 09 January 2008 02:38 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Whisper -- SNAP Whisper Listen. It's a new moon night. There is no light to be heard falling on fresh snow. Snow drifting down so quietly you hear nothing. Listen. Distant electric humming under the evening silence. A fountain trickles beneath the ice. Far away, geese call to one another across the slow river. Listen harder. Do you hear it? The crackling of stars, colliding starlight, high, higher, in the dimming, snow-speckled night. That hiss. That whisper. -- ~ SB | http://www.sbpoet.com | =^..^= -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
