Silver by Walter de la Mare
Thought maybe I’d share this sweet poem, in honor of tomorrow night’s Harvest Moon. There is some lovely imagery in it. Hope you will enjoy it, and be sure to go outside tomorrow, wherever you are, and marvel at the moon!
Silver
Slowly, silently, now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.
– Walter de la Mare
Polls and Comments and Debates, Oh My!
**Thank You**
Thanks for responding so well to the idea of having interactive polls available on Bookin’ It. I’m really excited about it, myself. Remember, if none of the options I listed is your favorite, choose “Other,” and then type in the genre you enjoy most in the empty field directly below it. That way, I’ll know what you like, too. Not only does it satisfy my curiosity, but it gives me a sense of what types of books visitors want to see reviewed.
Also, I wanted to thank everyone for welcoming my blogs to WordPress, and for liking my posts, and better yet, responding to them. PLEASE know that I really love reading your comments, and I encourage you to make them, even if you disagree with my reviews. Maybe especially if you disagree. We can get some good discussions going that way, and I would really enjoy hearing your point of view.
Many of you know I’m brand new to blogging, and I’m having a lot of fun, while learning the ropes. My goal is to make Bookin’ It a place readers of all kinds will enjoy visiting. I’m looking forward to hearing from all of you in the weeks and months ahead.
Time to get Bookin’…….
