Much Love,

Dream Dancer
In my restlessness I daydreamed
Walking into a dark deserted corridor
A showdow of my lost self
Looked down on me
And mocked my movements
While--
Breathing every thought I had
I came upon a giant clock
I pulled myself up to the base
And peered over the edge
There on an opal floor I lay
Cool and reflective of my soul
The shiny surface gave me calm
The iron hands came towards me
Welcoming me a place to sit
Perched and statuesque I stayed
Feeling much lighter than air
Floating slowy and softly
Balancing -- I rose
Now I could measure my existence
Minutes beneath my body
Gave me the most needed time spent
With every tick I felt a jerk
Getting closer to the final hour
I did not have need of steps
These hands would carry me
Tick
By
Tock
Minute By Minute
I danced on the hands of time
My shadow lingered on the opalescent field
Now I was nearing the last of the journey
Going Up Ward to the 12 th number
Shiney and golden
A tresure the colour of Heaven
Each hourly symbol before
Had created a comfort zone
This escape I chose
Would conclude my sleepless dance
Floating On Time
A gift much sweeter than a night of dreams
So calming to be carried by strong hands
This floatation gave a reason to be aware
Of enjoying the compatability of time well spent
Especially when sleep betrayed me
The minutes becoming my friends
I no longer despised this insomnia
My shadow joining me
We smiled
And climbed down into daylight
"Tomorrows" would come again

Hello poets, artisans, and pals. Welcome to another Magic Monday here at the CPCCC. So much going on this time of year it is hard to stop and catch a breath sometimes… but here we can take a moment to reflect, be inspired, and create. I look forward to our time together today as we dip into something a bit different….
METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING
Have you heard that FRUIT… is GOD’s CANDY???? And if it is FORBIDDEN, it is tempting beyond belief???
Have you heard that METAMORPHISIS Implies change within… even though the butterfly changes its outer skin?
We all recall that ACHILLES HEEL was not exclusively describing his body part…
We all use this in our creative mind… flipping words off the tongue when we speak and not realizing we are doing it. Today I would like us to focus on the METAPHOR.
Stretch your mind and pick anything you wish to describe. As you write about the action, the topic, the scene… discover the correlation to other things.
Below are some links that may be useful if you find yourself struggling to find a subject today, but I hope you will give this topic a try. Think of it as an exercise in description and let your imagination take over. When you open your imagination you will find this quite easy to do… I promise.
Thank you for taking some time to play today. Please remember to share your encouragement by leaving comments for your fellow poets and clicking the ever important kudos. I would also like to invite you back near the end of the day for a surprise assignment for next week. I will post it Later in the day. I hope you find something to capture your imagination. Now dip into your ink, tickle your imagination and let’s make some MAGIC!!!
Blessings everyone ~Lady Seda~

In music, a nonet is a composition which requires nine musicians for a performance, or a musical group that consists of nine people. In poetry, according to ShadowPoetry.com,
A nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables, the third line seven syllables, etc... until line nine that finishes withone syllable. It can be on any subject and rhyming is optional.
line 1 - 9 syllables
line 2 - 8 syllables
line 3 - 7 syllables
line 4 - 6 syllables
line 5 - 5 syllables
line 6 - 4 syllables
line 7 - 3 syllables
line 8 - 2 syllables
line 9 - 1 syllable
Example:
a pirates playground
the ocean is a pirate's playground
they live their lives upon the sea
battles are fought to the death
the loot is divided
they drink to those lost
set sail again
a pirate's
life for
me

We're still in an economic slowdown. This is the time of year when increasing cold tends to slow things down. Water freezes. Insects die. It gets light later, and dark earlier. In the north especially, birds and other animals including people, tend to hunker down in shelter.
So the topic this week, which I think the Nonet might be particularly well-suited to express, is Slowing down. It could be going slow to be more careful, to try to find beauty in the landscape, to just take it easy and enjoy little things.
Time to slow down and smell the...Chrysanthymums! Although even those are mostly dead now in New England, where winter's chill is in the air. As I write this, it's already below freezing and the forecast the low overnight will be only twenty degrees Fahrenheit!
This week the Friday Fling we're dressing to the Nines and taking it slow with Nonets!
Be sure to take your fellow Pals' writes slow as well, and comment with care. Then go savor every moment of a Wonderful Weekend! -Bob/Scotorum

Welcome once again to Thematic Attic with DiLinda A. Hill
I would like to thank Lady Cheryl for having me here again with you all today! I so enjoy being here and sharing with all of you, it has been my total pleasure. Today, I want you to express what your rainbow days are like. How do you feel when you see a beautiful rainbow in the sky. How does a rainbow make you feel inside. We all have different colors of rainbows that we can share. In my poem I posted is a poem that is in my new book coming out about my rainbow days! Everyone feels different about rainbows. Some laugh, some think its magical, some think the color are awesome and it makes us feel warm and full of life. Colors have a way of making us feel better and different inside, even when we are sad, or feeling like the world is against us. Take your time, sit back and enjoy your rainbow for you deserve it wholeheartedly!

It’s time another Wonderful Wednesday here at the CPCCC!
Tonight we will be
"Sharing Blessings"
Breezy and Butterfly welcome you with huge open arms because you are truly counted among our blessings. Friendship is one of those wondrous things that make the heart smile, burdens lighter and happiness much sweeter.
As we approach Thanksgiving I hope it ignites many thoughts and inspiration of the many things that surround you that enrich you and you may have overlooked because "life" sometimes does that to the best of us. Please stop, take a moment and come share your blessings in whichever format you wish. Feel free to use any of the pics below as inspiration or share your own.
