In gardens of fire we grow
gold moon studs to pierce
the dark tongues of midnight dreams,
origami shadows with sun-feather wings,
hollow lightning chimes
to dangle in the wind-beards of storms.
There’s no yellow fruit, green, red,
or sprouts breaking earth, only words
rising from the furrows of fallen stars.
Today is the one year anniversary of Laughing ghosts. For year two, a new name, slight change of color, but the same old poet, at the same old address.

Thanks for the year of your poetry, Pat. Laughing Ghosts - I'll miss them, but the new name is great. Yes, I agree, we must hurry up and produce something for the market!:) Good poem to start with!

Congratulations Pat. My how time flies when you're having a good time.
I don't think you're the "same old poet"--the images in this poem are like none I have seen here before--deeply lyrical and mysterious...
