Scattered leaves with poetic imprints

by alfred booth, wanbli ska

Rated: 18+ · Book · Inspirational · #1489243

"Scattered leaved with poetic imprints." My new collection of poetry.

P.(tree)Log

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Well, it's now mid- 2019 and this is still the only book I use to house part of my new poetry.
I began using it years ago due to a lack of storage space in my over-700 item WDC portfolio.
I really need to do some spring, summer, fall and winter cleaning.
There are still lots of static items which have never received any mention by other members here.

But that's part of the problem of being a writer ( musician, artist, actor ... ).
I do not know how to network.

Thanks for discovering this link. Please leave a comment.
Bookmark it, please....
This is a writing site and not FarceBrook where it's so easy just to press the button "LIKE."
(( And I am not a fan of the fact that WDC has added it. ))

I love this moment--thank you for capturing it and reminding me! A blue ending to the month for you and I've enjoyed reading your poetry again! So happy you made you way to the Dew Drop.Congrats and see you in other forums?

And it's wonderful to see the clouds "release" the moon. I've seen this in various ways in various phases of the moon. Often weirdly or wonderfully "caught" in trees, too!

We're having thunderclouds and release here, too.

I hope there is no such thing as "chocolate-coated morphine" since I am a chocolate fiend! I hope the headache is fictional too...

I love the subtleties of the grays here. And blues mixed in.

The poem I've been drafting also has gray mixed with blue! Not sure if that will be the one I actually post. Usually there are dribs and drabs of poems through the day (or night) before one comes together!

I like them all as usual. All very different and thought provoking. I remember how difficult it was some days to come up with one five liner, never mind four of them.

If pushed I'd say C is my favourite.

I connected best with C. The ending images are excellent. Might want to share it further.

May two, 2018

stars prick memory from my eyes
hide nothing even moonlessness
your supernova consumes us both
fires that cannot tame lust to love and
let no mundaneness seep through the cracks
not to breath in its fury stifles my heart
light must wane and wax, even ache, it must
see beyond the filters of day and night
my love is a night flower blooming not in
black blindness, but the dew of cool
and its gentle breezes, can you not resist the
deep nest in my arms, content with my ordinary
desires?

the bright burn of fire
[2018.2.5…a]

The origin of this poem is from the following line by Shakespeare:
“Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.”
Macbeth
Each word of the phrase becomes the first word of each line of the new poem.
It's a great exercise.
