Sail the word-stream on a moonbeam
Befriend the shadow, she inspiration bestow
Clear singing book-stream, a poet’s dream

A journey I would love to travel…

This has a wonderful beat to it.
What a great line, “Sail the word-stream on a moonbeam”
Fantastic ekphastic. Awesome work & big thanks for sharing both the verse and the photo live.
Wowser, image and poem a perfect union — love the word stream/moonbeam phrase.
Enjoyed this greatly. “Sail the word-stream on a moonbeam” blew my mind. I like Kerfe’s piece also.
I love the sing-song of your words and enjoyed your excellent delivery on the open link night live!
Soar is the first word that came to mind as I read this …. wonderful poem.
Apologies for reading and commenting late, but after the live OLN, I was so tired, and we had the electrician in yesterday to sort out the heating – there is still none in the study or dining room! I love that you used Kerfe’s image to write an ekphrastic poem, Helene! Sometimes it’s hard to hear the readings on OLN Live, there are sometimes background noises, so it was wonderful to go back to it this morning and read it again and make new discoveries. I love the steady rhythm and the rhyming, and the way you created a night sky through sibilance. I especially enjoyed the internal rhyme in the lines:
‘Sail the word-stream on a moonbeam
Befriend the shadow, she inspiration bestow
Clear singing book-stream, a poet’s dream’.
I love the rhythm of this–and what you did with the prompt to the art. Your invisible city sound like a wondrous place where you can:
“Follow stories of the rainbow
Sail the word-stream on a moonbeam
Befriend the shadow”
