Change

in a glance

 

So it goes

 

like sticks on barbed wire

 

I watch the want rattle in a child's hand

 

diamond flashes

 

peeling white pickets of boredom

 

pony girl rustling  fallen leaves

 

tempest restless - humming

 

rainbow in a teardrop

 

her sunbeam squint , furrows of tomorrow 

 

a chrysalis 

 

hidden under the jade of a grapevine

 

a cat and a spider on a broken fence

 

torn web and a tilted paw 

 

blackbirds spun the horizon

 

as jets streaked my blue sky

imagist and powerful as memory, where feelings flash on us like cinematic stills, in shades of warm and fragrance.

i seem to find foothold in every singe line.

this one
'a chrysalis
hidden under the jade of a grapevine'

and the last two, extra- especially,
--- such breathless beauty.

Amazing how much you wrested from this image. You painted us the picture with bold and vivid brush strokes.

[Doreen]

The title speaks of chance and the poem makes me think of Autumn and sadness. Nice work. I like that it evokes a rustle of feelings.

"rainbow in a teardrop
her sunbeam squint, furrows of tomorrow"~ I love this imagery that you have so beautifully written... Thank you

metamorphoses are one of the most interesting things to observe...oh how everything goes in circles..and how masterfully you catch them in your net to analyze in the laboratory of thoughts.

[Hello, Goodbye]

oh so good.. brilliant poetic brevity..

[Desert Dreamer]

Your words leave me struck with sadness...is all the hope hidden away in the chrysalis?

[FireWoman]

Deep in thought bouncing from one image to the next, you have a ping pong mind too.

[Michael of Gilead]

I find sad reminiscene in these brief but intense images you've portrayed

[SkinlessFrank]

All these images flashing on and off before us....as seen from a falcon riding a thermal, his telescopic eye pondering it all.

[Nobody.]

Wow a mosaic of life. Beautifully done.
