Any Day Now...

Any Day Now...

A Poem by Constance
"

Where will you find it? I can't really say...

"

Is it on a lily pad, idly astride some slimy pond,

Or in the sky within a star or a heavy cloud

You may happen to see floating by?

 

Is it in the smile of a clumsy child playing tag,

Or in the bubbling laugh of the one that you

Love the most and thank heaven for?

 

Perhaps it's in a blade of grass in summer,

The sunshine permeating to your soul?

I can't tell you where it is you'll find it.

 

Honestly, you may never find it at all

Some people never do, I must admit

Yet you may find one day that

 

The meaning you thought was missing

Is in anything or in everything- waiting

To be discovered any day now...

Hi C-

Tercets are an interesting choice and they work very well with the format. Kind of reminds me of some of Rumi's work. I see nothing in the way of nits or problems. As for suggestions, that one is hard because it is very good and improvements are totally subjective. If fact, the only thing I can even come up with is to maybe tweak the last to lines to:

"Is in anything or in everything, waiting...
Waiting to be discovered any day now.

It creates a caesura that makes the read a bit more dramatically, but again - that is totally subjective on my part.

A very ambiguous powerful poem. You're so intelligent! And worldly. Your philosophical voice really speaks out to people!
I'm surprised this only has two reviews! I'm also surprised you're not published yet. You write in such a professional and varied style, and a really entertaining and thought-provoking one at that too. Your presence as a writer is very powerful.

I write about my past, my own real experiences. Even my poetry is inspired by my life. I was, I suppose, born writing, making up stories and rhymes from about when I started to speak, but had to wait .. more..
