Listening to every heart

RiverFest2004

It's festival time...

I know that,
because clouds have
fathered children
       and they pretend to be high flying
            kites of fog
ruffling tree feathers
and skipping with humidity ~
they make the birds sing...

I wanted to write of clouds,
and pending drops of humidity gathering quietly
to form giant drops,

but instead I wrote of we
eccentrics who sit alone,
while the world runs rampant with
people, eccentrics who remain seemingly
comfortable in noting notes
or perusing pages,
at ease in their alone, yes,
content to hear voices
of poets

if only in their heads…

taking time
to track thoughts
in tempoed, trickling tones
of timbered poetry.

Tomorrow, I will play at festival,
walk the grass, eye the objet’s of the day;
breathe deep of festival food
which can fill one on scent, alone;
laugh at the sky and smile into
the sun…for it will be out, guaranteed…

and if not?

Why,

it's festival time.
most likely,
the rains will kiss me, again.

Very nice.  Makes me want to come.  I really enjoyed the bit about the clouds.  You do have a way with the words.

Karilea, I was thinking the same as Nancy. It doesn't
really seem like a year since Riverfest, does it?
Have fun, and come home with some of your
beautiful poems and pictures.
Hugs,
Ethel

"taking time

totally cool lines

...and I, for one, am thankful for the eccentrics, and their generosity in letting us plain folk peer into their lives...in words...and thoughts...and ideas...

Munch an elephant ear for me?  They are probably disgustingly bad for one, but festivals seem to grow them like Kettle Corn.  Have a great time!  KJ  (PS A pleasure to read your work!)

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

Festivals are action packed, like a giant playground, music, people laughing, kids wide-eyed

Fantastic poem....please do note the events with your photogentic eyes....thank you for sharing

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, where is this?  

Happy Weekend to Ya

It doesn't seem like a year since the last time of RiverFest.  Have a wonderful time!
