they shall feel of dark blue

they shall feel of dark blue
·
they shall feel of dark blue among the foliage,
where coi swim.
rushes lean w-i-d-e over their bare, geishan feet,
the water pulling their shadows like dark trees.
where coi swim,
kimonos lie in long veils.
the water pulling their shadows like dark trees
with soft, pink-white shivers.
kimonos lie in long veils
across an articulate stream
with soft, pink-white shivers
cherry blossoms mount in water dance.
across an articulate stream
rushes lean w-i-d-e over their bare, geishan feet,
cherry blossoms mounted in water dance-
they shall feel of dark blue among the foliage.
i wrote this poem for my writer's group meeting tonight. our writing exercise was to write a pantoum. my poem was inspired by a scene i'd created with my rubber stamps...
That Ageless Sound
It's that ageless sound
Of half broke horses
Breaking earth
Under an afternoon sun.
Of half broke horses
She's come undone
Under an afternoon sun,
These things... hidden.
She's come undone
This is all
These things... hidden,
Of dust on air.
This is all
Two hoofs breaking earth
Of dust on air-
It's that ageless sound.
NaPoWriMo 2011~
Today's prompt was to use three book titles in a poem. I used these titles:
Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
This Is All by Aidan Chambers
And, I also used a horse photo I'd taken at River Downs last year.
