The Sketch

 Monday in the Pub ... Mish reminds us it's time for a Quadrille!

Word for today is "sketch"


Sketch me at twilight

as shadows softly 

blend with moonrise

when dreams begin to

swing and sway

have your way with me.


But sketch me at your peril

i will end our journey 

will whisper goodbye

will always wonder

how did we ever die.

    The twilight seems to be very important to the person requiring a sketch. Well, it's soft and dreamy and suitable for the sketch.

    "Have your way with me, but sketch me at your peril" Sketched like that you can never die!

    "At your own peril" and all he'll have is the sketch of her to remember.
    Why would she wish to die? We both had the same idea, my title is "Sketch Me". And a story also.

    Twilight has so many dimensions, and any attempt to capture who we are reflects that.

    So beautiful and gentle, yet there is a strength and confidence in the voice. I like this a lot.

    I would never dare to sketch you... there is peril in that.

    The twilight is kinder, softens our self criticism, but to sketch in any way is always a risk, I love the wanton line too, the sense that you can give but desire not to be misrepresented. Well that's what I took away.
