Mighty white finger

Lighthouses light ones inspirations, they say so much in so many ways. Strength, power, solitude, regal, stalwart, silent and calm. Lovely poem that speaks of a lonely life in the middle of the forces of nature. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
Fay never lets down.. this poem stood righteous to the way of FAY
She stands alone, all painted white, a warning for ships that pass at night with slender shape, in jeweled height in darkest hours, burns so bright
Fay, there is an allure with lighthouses because of their isolation. I sometimes think I would like to live in one, but on second thoughts I like the company of people. at time. A wonderful pictorial picture you have drawn here. Top marks and thanks for sharing it with us. Hugs David

'The trip round the lighthouse ........................................ ended instead In light mist, ..................... but I knew I must go again And discover more ................................of this secret terrain..' A mesmerising trip you experienced, Fay, and expressed it poetically with such a wonderful imagery to invade a reader. Thanks for sharing with us. Yelena M.

Loved this piece Fay, I have always found lighthouses to be things of beauty, as is your poem,10 from Tom
Well, I am always glad to stop at your place, never disappointed. Interesting style as well, reminds me of a DG with ruffles. Hxxx
It always fascinates me - the triggers that trip the creative inspiration - and what a powerful trigger your lighthouse proves to be in this fine poem, evoking as it does such a powerful emotional and dramatic response. Your work has great authority, Fay and the images you convey with style and originality (like the 'mighty white finger') demand a second reading. Mystery pervades the piece and a sense of grace and humility too. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
