Sparks



words unspoken
crackle the air crisp as magnolia
tangy as first apple bite
you entice me with a dream's glimpse:   
your voice twining with moon's lilt
daring me to follow you 
wings wild & untangled 
as rain flower

flint the fire's undertow
strike the static canvas to deep-vowel blue
softer than water-
                                         us

  4. A very clever, well-written romantic adventure; but after reading Bjorn's political satire, I kept reading this as misdirected & enchanted foolish followers of flatfish. I like the lines /wings wild & untangled/as rain flower/.

  11. Very sensual, Grace. The "S" sound in the poem added to that sensuality. Happy New Year.

  12. Alliteration, arousal, and assimilation conquering the aspects and fulfilling the poem. You've become quite accomplished our Grace. Good to read you again.

  16. There is that uncanny tie-up among lovers that can only be explained as the willingness of giving rather than taking! Happy hols Grace!

  17. The first three lines just blew me away. Although the southern magnolia fragrance is more citrus, it is truly as crisp as the bite of an apple. And that first glance among lovers to be is exactly that - crisp. I never thought of it like that but it truly is. I remember when my husband and I first met...
