Change

in a glance

 

So it goes

 

like sticks on barbed wire

 

I watch the want rattle in a child's hand

 

diamond flashes

 

peeling white pickets of boredom

 

pony girl rustling  fallen leaves

 

tempest restless - humming

 

rainbow in a teardrop

 

her sunbeam squint , furrows of tomorrow 

 

a chrysalis 

 

hidden under the jade of a grapevine

 

a cat and a spider on a broken fence

 

torn web and a tilted paw 

 

blackbirds spun the horizon

 

as jets streaked my blue sky

imagist and powerful as memory, where feelings flash on us like cinematic stills, in shades of warm and fragrance.

i seem to find foothold in every singe line.

this one
'a chrysalis
hidden under the jade of a grapevine'

and the last two, extra- especially,
--- such breathless beauty.

changes don't always come easy but with a price....sometimes, its wonderful!

'rainbow in a teardrop' -does poetry get any better ?

[Lilly Negoi]

flash after flash - your eye doesn't miss a thing :).

There is so much in this one glance--your glance is a study

[Ladysue]

this gave me that unsettling feeling..that last line made me gasp... you did an outstanding job producing a feeling with this one.
