For Kerry’s Prompt at Real Toads, Art Flash, an American Sentence. An American Sentence is exactly 17 syllables and is a complete sentence. It is not necessary to rhyme it as it is Allen Ginsberg’s version of a haiku.
Sailing
“Hark, now hear the sailors cry, Smell the sea, and feel the sky, Let your soul and spirit fly, into the mystic.” – – Into the Mystic Van Morrison

Have to amend my comment …. it took me more than several look-sees to recognize that owl, my first reactions were feline. LOL
Oct 06, 2019 @ 13:40:58
A lot of people took it as a cat. LOL. As an owl afficianado, I took it as a horned or barred ow.

Yeah, I’m digging “argent” too.
That’s totally an owl, not a cat. btw.

Yeppers. I know it is an owl. LOL. I loved my play on words too. Lucifer used to be the name matches were called in the Victorian days. So we have a silver “lucifer” or a silver Devil. LOL.

The normal silver of the being replaced by argent is perfect in combination with Lucifer… fallen from the sky.
Oct 06, 2019 @ 11:10:13
I like the comparison of the dark night sky to an ebony lake. There is something dark and luscious but also devious in the argent lucifer.

Really great song by Van the Man — and much revealed in your AS Toni!
