Hey everyone!!
It's the evasive Lu who hasn't been on here in months! :D Yours truly! I haven't been on HSB in I don't know how long, much less Inklings. How are you all? Doing terrific meself. =D
Hey, if you haven't already, come check out my new Google blog... faeriesandbroomsticksandunicorntails.blogspot.com
So, I have a sort of but not really poetry thingy here...more like prose than anything. Hope you like it. :)

EMPTINESS
I saw a doe and deer go bounding through the trees;
And turning I reached to take your hand
And show the sight to you.
But all I touched was empty air.
I felt a leaf brush against my cheek;
And stooping I bent to pick it up
And let your cheek feel it too.
But sullen trees were my only companions.
I danced in the crashing ocean tide;
And laughing I called aloud your name
And asked you to come and dance too.
But all that answered were the sea gulls.
I beheld a sunset in all its rosy glory;
And I looked to see if you saw it too
And to see the joy on your face.
But, dear heart, you were gone.
Lucy
That was just as good as your last poem, which was awesome! As I already said. I have this big book of poems and short stories and your poems seem like they belong in there, and if they were in there, they seem like the ones I would read over and over. You are the best kid poetry writer I have ever read, seriously. I am an official Lucy fan.
