oh poets…sing to me

autumn-maples-with-poem-slips tosa mitsuoki

oh poets…sing to me

nourish me with words

my soul…that is

my mind

for I crave authentic

even vinegar and rust…

drench me with images

full strength

rain showers of amethysts and pearls

north wind pulsing prairie grass

glass shards reflecting light…

sing syllables to me

in harmonies

and heartbeats

that resonate

to my marrow bones

  1. Bonnie, thank you. I am soaking wet with your rich imagery:

    drench me with images

    full strength

    rain showers of amethysts and pearls

    north wind pulsing prairie grass

    glass shards reflecting light…

  2. I love this, Bonnie! “Nourish me with words….Drench me with images….Sing me syllables…” Yes! Yes!

Let's talk...
