Ellipse of days Such that they curve Through memory and now Sun spotted in black on too bright That leaves me wandering not quite In straight lines or even arcs But in a slow part circle One step of when followed by an if Old leather binds pages And too many exposures to the damp Have bent them in their own elliptical warp Yet pages cowering inside Reveal more clearly flat fears And lack of words spoken when “soft from lips pleading” might have made someone turn someone stay I find myself willing to fold even these Times along the edge of happy into Some origami figure Just to add texture And dimensions Tell me Do paper flowers count? And if they do, might these Pages and words be turned into some bouquet That in presenting I found too the curve of you To fit With mine? |

"Tell me Do paper flowers count? And if they do, might these Pages and words be turned into some bouquet That in presenting I found too the curve of you To fit With mine?" Do paper flowers count...that's one of the best lines I've ever read.  |

And lack of words spoken when “soft from lips pleading” might have made someone turn someone stay I find myself willing to fold even these ~*~ I have it on excellent authority that indeed, paper flowers of any kind count. |

I am intrigued by this sort of language. Reading this was like reading cummings...it is the use of such language that makes this poem outstanding in my mind...if ee could read this he would smile.. Thank you, much enjoyed ------------ice ><> |

"Yet pages cowering inside Reveal more clearly flat fears And lack of words spoken when “soft from lips pleading” might have made someone turn someone stay" Cowering pages afraid to reveal their true meaning? Amazing."cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

The pages on which you spill your inked eloquence, become paper flowers to be enjoyed far beyond a summer's season.    EA |

Enjoyed the read, electronic posting is a poor substitute for the feel of paper, yet one must adapt with the times... |
