Gloria Mysteria

Rows of silverheads bob sideways

as the god eaters gather in the aisle

and an angel with trainers dances under her chair.

A rosenkranz slides between mapped fingers,

a man in green holds a book high, in triumph.

Belief has no greater strength than the word.

Outside the traffic.

Reviews

[paradoxical]

Well, I'm stupid. I have no idea what silverheads are. lol But I thought the imagery was great and I loved the contrast between what I interpreted as a moment of religious fervor and traffic.

[Eric Cox]

Nicely done. You have a talent for good imagery with strength to it.

[Anne Timmins]

beautifully expressed

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Quiet an interesting take of the subject of organized religion... the best part is is that its open to interpretation.

[poeticpiers]

Enigmatic but interesting nonethe less

[Circe]

brilliant piece, your works are high quality and intellectual, you painted this realistic and revealing picture of the congregation and what are they waiting for? where is the triumph, and why all these people? this speaks volumes, very much profound.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Another classically written poem. My take is on the way religious fervour changes nothing, hence the traffic. Good read.

[John]

A nicely cynical view of religious celebration with a nod to the real world, the traffic outside. Art is in the detail and you have selected wisely - silverheads and angels with trainers,. Enough said.
