Tweet   Ariel recites Of Sights And Scents "Of Sights and Scents" A Poem by David Hart A distinguished pair of spectacles, selfless and serene, doze snuggly atop a Proud bureau of drawers.   A placid fireplace yawns and winks As giggling embers tango on tiptoes with Lilliputian logs, haughtily cackling a cacaphonous tune. Outside a stoic mist galumphs betwixt gregarious shrubs and egotistical stars Dewy eyed and squinting, windows, aching and arched, peep out-- Out to the blaring beams from a crochety moon afar A pensive pair of spectacles ruminates on sights Carefully seen-- Of frugal birds and courteous walkways And terraces splendid and keen Now a scent of myrrh caresses the room A pillow of mist blushing, blows kisses to A muzzy moon dhart2002USA (this version published in the Taj Mahal Review Dec 2003)
