chronos, the cartographer (or lodestone)

a meditation inspired by the writings of phil roberts. http://www.writerscafe.org/philroberts

contoured naturally and of reasonable size

the sediment, the mineral and silica roll

from point beginning: some conceivable top

then onwards gathering how to box

and adding the harder - how not to box:

    though, slalom, son. slalom onward

    take the turns, the spills, the swipes made

    wildly; take them with these warm nods

    adhering the notches to those limpid legs.

        sing and dance while I eat, I have mountains

        to both build and crush

I can't believe this poem has so many views without reviews. The ending is ... just perfect. I must check out the writing that inspired you. :)

That's very kind of you to say so, Lyn. .. Yes, check out phil Roberts' writing: is very thoughtful.

[Lyn Anderson]

I have done so and will continue to do so. It is always great when we find other writers in this manner
