your verses drip from your lips

your verses drip from your lips like crystals,

tinkling slurry syllables hushing all others,

silencing meadows, springtime airs,

priming my atmosphere awaiting your arrival.

Verses so powerful that everything else ceases....amazing words in this poem!! Enjoyed it. ;-)

This packs a punch in a few lines, well written! The word "slurry" confuses me a little, since everything else gives the feeling of crispness (crystal, tinkling, spring, etc). When I read "slurry," my mind anticipated drunken poetry, but I feel that is not the case. Otherwise, a nicely striking image with very few words!

Maybe you are thinking 'slurring' rather than 'slurry' which is fluid that is insoluble. So not only are the words crisp, but cannot be diluted.

[Mockingbird]

your lexical ability to blend obscure words into verse is amazing. you'll make the most dissonant phrases melodious just by succinctly conveying the sentiment behind them and adding tangible images of nature. in few words you elicit awe and anticipation of something just out of reach. it is a lovely read.

Oh, I know what slurry is, I was just explaining where the sound of the word took my brain. And, as you mention, a slurry is a goopy unincorporated mixture, is still sounds less crisp to me. However, as always, the poem belongs to you!

i find slurry to be phonetically alluring. being insoluble proclaims a bond that is untouched by impurity or time. you can't get more undiluted than a single morpheme contained in a syllable powerful enough to silence even 'springtime airs.'

"...drip from your lips like crystals.." already a sensuous feel to the poem...line two: alliteration (I think that is the label) ...lines 2 & 3 ...the POWER that is given to the speaker/poet...and "...awaiting your arrival" only makes me think there has to be a part II....I cannot wait to know what will happen next..or am I to imagine?

(: Loving a poet Jacob... Isn't that a wonderful thing?!?! Is this the narrator loving the poet, or how the narrator wishes she loved him? Thank you for reading :)
