Still Frozen in its Dangling Charm I can hear a child in clamoring screech next door and listening her words play me to see this green grass where play should be rampant and yesterday’s children grew and leaped into burgeoning before I had a chance to savor for time does not wait for even this loving The nasturtium’s leafing prolific pad splays out in quenchless throng I can feel it growing with my eyes closed and delicate as a bubble atop her green umbrella wiggles a drop of rain still from yesterday’s downpour now colored by sun’s rainbows making a small soft sound as it moves as imperceptible as a drifting cloud’s sigh The cold cement holds me where I lie in bedded backyard bliss for listening and feeling the sun is glorious and soft and fills these winter creases like a lover’s soft breath until they are ripe and swollen When I drink this orange of gracious giving this juice of sweet and tang that speaks to me all the goodness of careless youthful glee that this small space encompasses then…I long to have found time still frozen in its dangling charm |

Martie~ This is so YOU ! 'atop her green umbrella wiggles a drop of rain still from yesterday’s downpour now colored by sun’s rainbows making a small soft sound as it moves as imperceptible as a drifting cloud’s sigh' And that, my dear, is a pleasure. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A beautiful poem! You can certainly paint a picture with words, and I love that. I especially love the last two lines. |
