Silent leaves echo
Laughter and soul-stirred murmurs--
Eyes tear in moon glow

Well, now this one is just too good!
You are writing some real imaginative and beautiful poems, Jim.
Silent leaves...!! Wow!

Thank you, Minnie. The silence of a night after a garden party filled with good cheer and affection, evokes such moods in this humble soul.

..." Laughter and soul stirred murmers...." Wow, you have given each word the clarity and mystery of that as each note of a well played chello.
Thank you for these clear tones

Thank you for the nice compliment, CoffeeLady. I like the idea of listening to cello music and reading short form poetry.
