      Petalled Field

      Sometimes a writer's poem needs to grow
      from the seed of the first read
      and bask in the light of day
      out from behind the wall

      As the leaves carefully unfold
      and the identity is confirmed
      we can hear it gain strength
      and attest to its resiliance

      Then the reader's poem blossoms
      its rare flower brilliant
      and the colors begin their glow
      enlightening all who see

      Oh, to dance in such a petalled field
      where new buds open and the scent is sweet!

An exquisite poem, Krawdad, the link of which I followed from Helen’s equally beautiful one. I enjoyed the unfolding of your poem and was mesmerised by the aspired for dance and the vision of the opening buds and the sweet, sweet scent.

Ah, beautifully said, Krawdad. When poetry inspires poetry it is wonderful to watch. A field I would like very much to lie down in.

It's the blissful feeling that pervades us when beauty touches deeply.

Exquisite!

I admire the write and concur with you totally on the first read usually isn't as enlightening as the second or third . . . Then, of course there are some, and I know this is true because I write them often, that gags a maggot.
