Meadow Sea


And I settled for a time
along the blacks
and greens of trees,
among the fuschias
and the yellows
of the melting meadow sea.

And the thirsty sky
sank slowly close
so as to drink of me.  






Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau

This has a nice flow. Ive come to like free verse more since reading Whitman, and this reminded me of his writing. Good job.

Poet deVine, I thank you for such an encouraging response.

Melissa, thank you. As for publication, perhaps in time, when I am able to focus more completely on such a project. Will let you know. (o:

Miss Marge, as always, my heartfelt thanks to you, my friend.

Sven, sweet words from you warm this chilly day. Thank you.

Olias, so glad to know this wee poem was strong enough to have an impact of such nature. Thank you so much for reading and letting me know.
