Tear As Lens Bespeak the certain glossed recall, so rich and pure in trace Though seep the parchment, heart fueled quill draws out in long embrace Then flow oh song and swallowed stillness, deeply red the taste For there remains the sweetest sound, around my breath enlaced Then fill the vessels prism view, so swelled thee overflow And linger lightly down the cheek of winter’s contour low To pool impasse the eve and end, for never called to blow Bespeak the certain glossed recall, as I have come to know Copyright Kkh 11/20/13 |

Ahhh . . . Loved this poem and the superb play on words that you gave it, and the rhyming sequence was outstanding. ~*~ My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them. ~*~ |

Though my inner creative side aches to see this as a sonnet...best not to tamper with perfection. Well done. CG |

Exquisite, as always, Kathy. I love how this rich, teardrop tapestry is cocooned within "Bespeak the certain glossed recall." Owl |
