Hazy Morning
First light slipped in muddled by the night's images.
The thorny places are hard to unearth.
Trapped doors on either side.
Skeletons walk in the light.
Mixtures of draped vignettes.
Screens pierced through with stinging darts.
Hazed over this morning mocks.
It has no shame.
Laughing, seeking to bury hope.

Poetry is lyrics of the soul manifesting seemingly out of thin air. This art is captured in a moment. Vapor words appear dancing around seeking a route to escape. Finding exodus through the pen. The paper soaks in the words attempting to absorb their rich meaning. As you read them allow them to seep into your heart and nourish your spirit. Meditate on these songs that will continue after you read them to echo in your mind. With each stanza your love will crescendo. Inspired words are powerful and will inscribe the soul. They are life to those who dare to utter. Poetry was once bound in volumes ghostly seeking refuge. They have now been loosed from their binds and permitted to roam. House them now in your heart!
I hope you will enjoy reading my work and that it will touch you in some way.

Unsuspecting
There is a natty kind of mind
That slicks its thoughts,
Culls its oughts,
Trims its views,
Prunes its trues,
And never suspects it is a rind.

Wonderful images, Pam! Brava. I wondered about the significance of "darts" in relations to screens. For some reason my mind reverts to "stinging" insects that screens keep out. Darts, hmmm?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jude,
ReplyDeleteYou know poetry is subjective and so is the readers explication.
At the time I wrote this I was thinking of how people with negative words try to discourage your dreams.
Dreams-screens
Darts-the negative words
As always my hope is that whoever reads anything I write it touches them in some way.
Once again thank you for reading.
