You are welcome, anytime, to come and literally sit by the fire. It has been a long time since we have shared stories face to face. Thanks, so much, for your enthusiasm, and for the welcome back.<br /><br /><br />Cat - Thank you very much! I have missed being here and also missed visiting blogs. Hopefully, I can hang in here for a while this time. I'm delighted that you found this magical. I'll bet your interest in queens comes from children's literature, do you think?<br /><br /><br />Minister - I hope so! Thanks a bunch. ;))<br /><br /><br />Thank you so much, Joaquin, for the complimentary comments. My magical days turned into magical thoughts...I have had my share of both, these past few weeks, thankfully. I DO appreciate your nod to craft here.

magic, indeed ...wow, k - more than worth the wait!<br /><br />magic, indeed - completely swept up in this one. i love how it moves effortlessly between vivid and sensory (Black juniper cones - a crush of cloves(!)) and wispy and fragile (pale head - moonlit snow) - and i love the way you've woven the music into this - echoes and peeps - which suits the poem perfectly. <br /><br />this is, to me, a seminar in craftsmanship. truly.joaquin carvelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193680725157157864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748260389102735677.post-33558778125722161472010-01-04T19:53:41.811-08:002010-01-04T19:53:41.811-08:00Magic!Magic!Ed Meershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06079101364912241838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-748260389102735677.post-69174572408867883462010-01-04T05:09:19.502-08:002010-01-04T05:09:19.502-08:00You have been away and I have missed you!

I love this story, I want to sit with her while warming by the fire and hear the stories and drink tea and laugh. <br /><br />And on another note from within the story, a see a queen kind of person. I've always had interesting relationships with Queen bee people. On the one hand I'm awed and on the other hand there is some darker attraction that I don't understand but that hails from childhood. Always interesting tho, those queen bees.
