"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls." George Carlin

Jamie Dedes is not only a very talented and inspirational writer, but also an unbelievably good and sweet person. From the little I have managed to learn about her, over the oceans and the mountains that separate us, through the computer wires and musical keyboards, Jamie is a person that I strongly admire.

She says, her blog - "Musing by Moonlight"- "is a celebration of life dedicated to my son and my daughter-in-law in the hope that they will live out their lives in peace, love and safety.", but I'm sure that if you had the chance to visit already Jamie, you will agree with me that her posts are little celebrations for everybody. There is always a word, a song, a saying ... anything, for each taste and comfort.

The poem I've chosen today it's a dedication to the last summer days, to the passionate tango dance on the streets at night. Thank you Jamie for the delight!

A fool's paradise

Pearl earrings and skin against skin as
bare and sleek as a midnight summer -
succulent with the scent of jasmine.

Soulful brimming with dulcet dreams, a
moonscape tango, scattering mythic dust on
hearts entwined around images borrowed
from the silver screen between stolen
kisses. The dance of naive minds, kindred
spirits bent on manufactured expectations -

A fool’s paradise.

Inspiration of the week

Welcome to the new post at The Poetry Palace-"Inspiration of the week". With so many talented poets and amazing poems, every other Sunday we will feature a random poem that has made an impression! I am Blaga and it's a pleasure to be with you!

In her "About" section, she says: " I was inspired by the simplicity of nature and humble surroundings. I'm not a writer of fiction, everything you read from me has come from somewhere real. If I can bring the reader along, take them back, rekindle a memory or just make them feel something, then my mission is accomplished. I simply enjoy painting pictures with words."

The poem I've chosen today it's a beautiful canvas made out of sweet words! It is in perfect unison with the summer leaving soon and I found the combination of words, image and emotions in Kellie's post appealing, catching the attention immediately and keeping your eyes on it for more than just a moment of time.

Enjoy a little piece of "Magic in the Backyard".

Autumn's Apology

by Kellie Elmore

she tried to sneak in
through the misty morning
but her chilly hands gave her away
when she laid them on my skin
while I was sleeping

I waited all summer for you

I got up to close the window
and saw her
she was spinning in the yard
and painting the leaves on my tree’s

sorry I was late
