You let it all hang out,

nouns, idioms,

dangling participles,

taking a chance on

.

the conventions of language

to underscore your point.

Your openness spills ink

onto life’s crumpled

.

pages. Your transparency

builds a story line,

romantic innuendoes

of historical significance

.

which weave complexities,

nuances of tone and metaphor,

smudges of graphite

on lines yet un-penned.

    Wonderful thoughts. I like the way you take things in nature and let it speak to us in so many ways. I have wanted to do that myself, but haven’t. You are a great encouragement to me.

      Thank you, Stephen! How very humbling to know how much our words can lift each other up – what a privilege to be a part of your ‘team’!

    Hmmm, wonder if you’re speaking of anyone in particular, or if, like I have to say sometimes, “it’s just a poem”. Anyway, I liked it a LOT! God bless you Big–love, sis Caddo

      Just a poem – but of course, the fodder is underneath somewhere, right? 🙂

      1. Caddo-Jael

        Usually, yes, I believe so.
