Congratulations Lily

It is with great pleasure that we honour you
as Muse Mongers new Poet of the Month!

Your participation here, and support of your peers are two of

Your unique Australian muse brings a new dimension

and warmth of spirit blesses us all.

Some of us have had the privilege of knowing you for years,
and have long been fans of your poetry, and below
are just a few of the reasons why...


Here are three Poems by "Lily"
The Muse Mongers Motel Poet of the Month for
December, 2007

Photobucket

Close Your Eyes

In the middle
Of seventh heaven
And the deep blue sea
This is the defence
Of a hanging soul
A precarious
Tight rope walk
A drawn out night
Around a dying fire
Create the pain
And suffer in deserving
It’s a fading stage
Willing to change
It’s not enough
Under the burning sun
Everybody runs
Set us on fire!

Photobucket

Wheeled Things

I wrote and wrote
and battled the wheel
for a different ending
and i found myself heading
in the same direction as birds
as they sought their nests and rose
above wheeled and driven things

Photobucket

Soothe Refrain

in the rain down
I was Cinderella
no shoes, toes wriggling
dare darting from eyes
that have swam in chords
and wandered in song lines
I cannot lie
hung up, flung up
never hang up
pain is evident
in valleys of resignation
hearts under the covers
in the lining, in the far apart
to myself
breath bouncing off walls
we forgo the chaise
lover, splay your fingers
and I will fill the in between
come

~Lily
