She Rambles Before the rose bloomed, there was green and then sometimes turquoise memories against a lift of gray salty fog where those very memoir’d shimmers were brought into that old 1960’s kitchen of her long ago childhood, when the family’s laughter simmered over navy beans the ham hock falling off the bone and the black iron skillet holding hot, sweet cornbread; so that now, when she was introduced to an induced [perhaps prayed for] relief from society’s haves, where she once shifted with need, wanting her own time, but skirted streets with blinders each day in tempered time, held taut with the needs of others self-righteous, greed-filled desires she now awakes with nowhere to go, except to some peace, with her own plans yet to be birthed; where she awaits with hope for the rose to bloom against the green and some again times of turquoise memories against a lift of a lost gray but if she breathes in deeply, even landlocked in the driest part of Kansas, she can still smell the foamy salt and feel the swirling tinge that awakens her to life, again. ~*~ Part I of a Trilogy ~*~ © Karilea Rilling Jungel March 21, 2007 |

Lovely feeling to this Kari, damp with the dusk of evening. The kitchen of the 60's was a great scene. TD |

"where she awaits with hope for the rose to bloom against the green and some again times of turquoise memories against a lift of a lost gray" and even in the driest part of Kansas the rose will bloom so lovely and poignant Karilea... |

Sissie Ham hocks and beans....now you got me wanting to go grocery shopping. Yum! But there is much that is deeper and cooked longer within this poem. The fragrance bubbles, and it smeels good! "she now awakes with nowhere to go, except to some peace, with her own plans yet to be birthed;" I know this lovely feeling. |

This fine piece of nostalgic writing conjured up a few "turquoise memories" for me as well. I loved the warmth, scents, and visuals of this captivating poem ~ and I am anticipating the parts II & III of the this trilogy!  Love & Sun Light, Linda |

I hope this ‘reply/comment’ post brings this ‘write’ back to page 1 of the ‘P.I.P.’ forum # 40 queue with Part II of the ‘trilogy’.... a lot of fine imagery in this poem, such as: “Before the rose bloomed, there was green and then sometimes turquoise memories against a lift of gray salty fog” and: “she can still smell the foamy salt and feel the swirling tinge that awakens her to life, again.” applause!! |
