Stars Melt
Although stars melt like a moment gone, why did the plague take her?
Dare imagine a flower without life collecting rain returned for the river.
Frost composed poetry yet it was Mr. Kipling's that changed reason.
25 years, listening to his silent voice, flowing compassion, it had nostalgia!
Still, days that could seem care-free before, turn terrible.
Spent summer away, driving down last night, outside the hotel, Beach Boy's strum guitar on corner.

thanks you young clapping hippie (yea, I read your note to Zimo..)
This was a tough write without cheating (using words that were not there or using a word listed more than once) but I did it. Sorry it doesn't flow better but that is a result of the limitations.
I like the title as well, I think I really could have done something cool with a title like that had I been free to use any word I like but that isn't the idea with "drops of poetry".
Scott would have been lost with this, his verse's are imaginary, not chosen. Maybe someday he will have the time to come over here and check this site out and prove me wrong.
Thanks for the reply.
Daniel

I always considered you one of my favorite poets on the site, one of the best to relay a message across an ever changing topic mind, with his own style that keeps it so real its beautifullly achieved.
nice write

Thank you Astarael, So I have noticed that you have done a couple of these "Drops of Poetry" too, is there a method you used?
I had to take all the words and put them together by letter (all the a's together, all the b's, etc.) before I could do it. That way it wasn't so hard to locate a word I could use to continue the sentence. This is my 3rd attempt at doing one of these and the first that I didn't accidentally erase trying to save. I like the fact that the words were all together in sentences this time as compared to strung out over the entire box, that made it easier to put them in alphabetical order, but there was still one word that I could not get my cursor to move..
Thanks for the kind words. We are all lucky to have each other here, I doubt if there is a more talented poetry site on the Internet than here at the sanctuary.

Daniel, You are very creative and talented to be able to write a poem that has such flow and meaning under the constrictions of drops poetry. I knew from the title this was going to be good. Amazing. Lady B
