Don't Drop my poem, for it may break

(Inspired by a friend.)

and in the slivers of the shattered remanence
Lies a polar thought for you.

It may draw blood,
(I hope it does)

It may cause pain
(an old refrain)

It may lie fallow
(never shallow)

Sweep it up
(if you must)

Toss it away,
(but it will stay)

In the aurora of the rainbow
In the dirt of the street
In the lyrics of lime
In the blue of a hue
See it?
It's just for you,
But for me, too.

Letty. Beautiful, as you are.
Please bring some of your poetry to the gathering in Florida in April. I would love to have time to read the words you put together in a tapestry only you can weave.

Dear, dear, Diane,

It is always a delight to receive a sincere observation from you. I do so hope that things will work out, and that I may see my way clear to meet everyone at the agora of Cocoa. Smile It would be the respite that I need and could use. I will certainly take you up on your kind offer for a ride, because it has been a while since I motored on the interstate alone. Razz

As for my poem, it was spontaneous and inspired by an exchange that I had with a friend. Often, in these uncertain times, the creative spirit is thwarted, but it is then, that more of us need to examine that voice that may well be one "crying in the wilderness."

Thank you, Diane.

This is great, Letty,

Besides the pleasurable reading, I learned a new word.


Remanence

I like it (both the new word and the poem) Very Happy

Fritz the cat and a crystaline sphere..from friends that I have held so dear.

Look closely, England, Aussie, too.
The very words depend on you.

All...all depend on Yeats and Keats..on Heine..goethe..Hals..who keep
The epicenter of this earth--along with those who test with mirth.

and lest that I forget to say: "I meant to do my work, today."

and a true thanks to Jacque, too...who covets a new word or two.

From Florida...in America...in the mind of God --goodnight

Gautam, honey child, You are a dear to call me eloquent. After reading your poetry, I would hardly call you speechless. Smile

Thank you, Gautam. You are most encouraging.
