First Poet of April Our town, not too big in size, but enough interested to bring one who appeared non-pretentious, (his smile ~ so warm) but daringly fresh while anciently wholesome in delivery of April’s first words of spring so he spoke of death. And then of spring. Then, he protracted on his time of first knowledge poetry, and the ugliness of such a thought to be deemed worthy of understanding ~ horrors! especially on Valentine’s day, with entreated your mission is to write of love. Fourth grade 10-year olds, males, particularly, do not wish to expound; I could not help but smile, envisioning the younger him making that face. He wrote of jazz, and jazz singers, and sung his words in a manner never to be lip-synched, no music but his whisper, no tempo but his heart, words strung as fine as a saltwater pearled chain, and your feet danced. His last poems were of a matter that truly took us, not by surprise, but more by gasp… as he instilled anger at a made-up invisibility of non-existence. And made it real. ~*~ Some, only heard the anger. I heard the horror of one who would create a non-existent soul; and how his kind suffered once more by imperfect people’s perceptions. ~*~ Cornelius Eady http://www.poets.org/poets/poets.cfm?45442B7C000C0302 Impressions inspired by “Brutal Imagination” and other readings |

Sunshine, I enjoyed this. It was disjointed, at times staccato, and I could see it and feel it. Well done. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
