INPM #9: On this long storm the Rainbow rose

Icon with rainbow On this long storm the Rainbow rose

On this long storm the Rainbow rose —
On this late Morn — the Sun —
The clouds — like listless Elephants —
Horizons — straggled down —

The Birds rose smiling, in their nests —
The gales — indeed — were done —
Alas, how heedless were the eyes —
On whom the summer shone!

The quiet nonchalance of death —
No Daybreak — can bestir —
The slow — Archangel’s syllables
Must awaken her!

Emily Dickinson

    How’re you liking it over here? I have to say, the main thing I notice now is how much longer it takes to load your posts now when I click on them (because they’re on a different site.) Sad commentary on our instant gratification world, eh?

    I should dig out some of my favorite poems in honor of the month. Won’t be today, though.

    And I was Teasing you about your review addiction. Which afflicts me far, far worse, I’m sure. And I am not nearly so regular in my updates…..

    let’s see what the devil does today: >:D

    I clicked on him and inserted him. We’ll see if he shows as devil or component characters.

      >:( Somehow your comments turn the letters that call up the smileys into special html character code,
      & gt; (without the space, obviously) instead of just putting the bracket >. I have no idea why. That doesn’t seem to happen to anyone else. 🙁

      I love it here. It’s much nicer than LiveJournal. More features, much prettier. 🙂
