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.
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Wow, this one’s awesome. Good job!
Thanks, Rob! 🙂
; ^ )
Love it! Brava Melody 🙂
Thank you!
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? 🙂
Usually, yes, I believe so.
“smudges of graphite on lines yet un-penned” – love this!
Thanks Pam! A novel in the works, so to speak… 🙂
I particularly liked the smudges of graphite line as well.
Thanks Lyle. 🙂
