quick bright things
traverse thought
from outside in
to inside out
revealing implication
like apples ready … dropped
and gravity implied
they slip receptive
to our mind from
this is that to …
perhaps … that is this
like rainbow shades
from sunshine rain
that prismed thought
so then was found … eventually
a frequency in starlight
yes, we think quick bright
from outside in and inside out
now … then … this … that
life is a quick bright thing
think this world
to the next

I like that phrase, “quick bright thing.” Interesting.
Glad you think so, Andrew. I’m thinking readers have their own idea about quick bright thing images. Hope it’s a take away. Smiles …
What a clever and fun poem this one is – really fun to read out loud.
Very pleased you read it aloud, Sharon. I used to voice my poetry … I think I miss providing this, yet it’s better if readers access this other dimension on their own. Smiles …
A kiss of words.
Oh, lovely, Simon … thank you for saying it.
Very catchy and fun! Loved reading this poem!
Thank you, Nancy! It is fun to read out loud. Smiles…
You use words so smartly (is that a word? you’d probably know.) I’m in awe every time I read your work. Your ability to tell a story in so little words. Well done, Bonnie.
Thank you, Elle. Please know I admire the elegance and idea development in your writing very much. I look forward o reading your posts.
Thank you for your kind words–and I hope you know that I’m always elated to come to your site and see your work too. ❤
Smile, Elle. Thank you.
Lovely, as usual!
Thank you, John. Smiles …
The title and rhythm of your words is like a glimmer of dragonflies across a summer lake…
Thank you very much for such a lovely image, John. Very much.
