  • Memories Stirred

    Today's 'Haphazrd by Starlight' poem, which I loved, stirred memories of this poem I encountered in one of the 'anthologies for schools' we had back in the 1970s.  I had some fun and games with the formatting, but the font that shows seems very approrpiate - reminding me of the old teletype character sets

  • 'Haphazard by Starlight' - Day 23

    Seasonal Ghazal

    By Harry Gilonis

     

    The silent starts descend to us

    Come angel seraph sheep pear-tree

     

    O holy o cold

    Dawn come in snow

     

    Offspring of day

    Light is lily above us

     

    Glory birds, calling birds

    Sun, the fields shining

     

    The day, the earth, skies

    Peace, contemplation and music

     

    Hosanna, no, holly stand

    Suddenly tree displayed

     

    The yonder star our comfort

    Bring time again

     

    Joy, excelsis a-leaping

    World and hope embrace

     

    Lullaby image and sing sing

    A happy new begin
