March Awakened Yellow-Eyed

A Poem by Phibby Venable

March Awakened Yellow-Eyed

I placed the lotus in a float
I prayed four virtues
on my soul
I saw a drunkard's splash occur
short as an ethereal of dew
from some stray drops
around the bowl
I searched my ephemeral soul
to find the way
I might disrobe
into some joyous disregard
that lay between myself
& God.

It's what we all look for. Love the way you gave this a lilting softness. Great work.

It's what Stephen Crane would have written if he could really write poetry. Spare, and economical, but no less magical for being so.

you got the muses sleeping over? or maybe you just got flowers growing out the top of your head...
