It’s true. Lines are
more prominent than
they used to be. But if
you will read between
.
them, you will enter
my world – dreams
and ever afters, knights
and clashes with wicked
.
tyrants, notes stashed
in bottles and tossed on
foreign shores. Between
these lines lies a
.
spirit-essence, a will,
a mind, a heart. Turn
the pages breathlessly
when suspense leaves
.
you hanging; linger long
where hope casts her
spell. Decode the jots,
decipher the plot
.
sketched out by
an author yet
unknown. Read me,
between the lines.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Love this! 🙂
Thanks Shannon! 🙂
Beautiful! The lines are both lovable and useful! Loved it.
Thank you! 🙂
I really liked this one. So many good phrases including “hope casts her spell.” But then I’ve always been partial to reading between the lines.
I can tell! Thanks, Lyle.
that’s the best way to peruse the beautiful ~ between lines for, the spaces hold so much!
You are so right. Thank you!
love this photo as well as the line: decode the jots, decipher the plots…
Thanks Pam! We are such complex critters – there is so much to get to know, under the surface…
This poem is worlds inside worlds…
I am honored, Seb! I’m glad that you can see inside, past the letters to a meaning of your own. Thanks for reading!
Great poem, great idea! Thank you.
Thank you, Pieter!
I really enjoyed reading this Melody. The more lines you have, the more you have seen and experienced. There are many pages to a book and much more to a person. I loved the line “turn the pages breathlessly when suspense leaves you hanging” it reminds me of all the things that are jotted down in our life diary from a young age, then when old age hits, we sit and glance at what had been from the past. Too late to make changes.
Great post Melody.
Thanks RPD! I like your take on aging – it fits so well with what I am experiencing and aim to experience. I LIKE the perspective that is coming with the grey hair… 🙂
Intriguing. I tend to be fixated on the lines and forget to read between them. It’s a bit like charging along a highway and neglecting to see what is on either side. What a lot gets missed that way.
I know I have missed plenty, with my blinders on – or with an attitude that made it hard to truly see. I want to dig a little deeper!
In digging you may find gold or diamonds 🙂
I think I already am… 😉
Bravo! Loved the line linger long where hope casts her spell
That seems to be the favourite – thank you! 🙂
