full, she gleams pretty
beacon in Atacama
promise of riches
fevered followers get lost
sea of bones moan at midnight
I’m the host of dVerse’ Poetics Tuesday writing about a legendary bird found in the deserts of Chile. This image has made me a fevered follower!


How cool is this! Sea of bones moan a midnight reminds me of my fridge moaning when everything gets quiet!

Dwight, my fridge makes very weird sounds also. It was here and it was old when I moved here in 2011 but it still works like a charm aside from the moaning sounds. :::knock on wood:::

I love poetry but haven’t written it in a while, except as it pertains to lyrics. LOL. Still, I love a well-turned phrase. Lovely image, poetry and sentiment.
Wishing you a word-worthy holiday season!

Rob, as long as you write poetry I will visit you and read it. I would love to fly out to where you are so we could visit the forest there. I know it isn’t the same forest you write about but there have to be some forests to visit where you are.

Delightful bird and I can see why they would follow, not all that glitters though…wary of the moaning sea of bones. Very nice.
