To Hold

In a hand
or a pocket
concealed
close

while
waiting

a stone
a seed

as some
things pass
you by

Keep it
tiny

reminder
too small
to fill arms

or suitcases
or who
you are meant
to be

when days
end as
clouds

there
vividly
be

Nice. Put a little love in your pocket, a little love in your groove. Just a little bit :-)

[Charlienix]

Really like the blended imagery. It's the kind of poem that speaks to you in pieces as you read through it and then the whole speaks again. Love the word choices.. Excellent.

[The Archangel Gabriel]

I agree with Tao - that is positively equisite! If you read my work, you will see that I have a "special gift" for being extremely wordy much as you have a gift for simple elegance.

I like the line:

"Keep it
tiny"

For you, that seems to be the Tao. For me, it seems to be the axiom: "Write the entire Encyclopedia Brittanica and call it a poem." To each there own, and I wish that I could understand your simple elegance in the same fashion that I understand my extremely wordy sophistry.

Thanks for sharing. That was a positively wonderful addition to my day.

I agree with A.J.: "Your poem invites several re-reads, its dreamy quality alluring and delightful." Sometimes, somebody already summed up your opinion on the matter at bar. ;)

Love and peace,
Gabe

I like this, but I have no idea what it's about. :)
Have fun.

[The Tao of Bri]

This is such a wise poem, so aptly put as always and so eloquent. You are such a talented writer!~B

[A.J. Smith]

Beautiful piece. I love your sparing use of words and your format. Your poem invites several re-reads, its dreamy quality alluring and delightful. Thanks for the friend add, by the way. I am honored.

I really enjoy this formating. It's unique to me. The poem is fantastic.
