One Sunday morning






Dawn crouches slowly
& strikes each maple leaf
bell-chimed, 
frail as silky web,
each space, silver scar
each word is sepia
knotted by black threads
My fingers slowly unravels
until light
seeps
like tangerine
peeling flame & breath
flamboyant as peacock

  2. You have written your description with the lightest of touches. It is really beautiful, with the stark contrast of spiderwebs, silver scars and the black thread to bind all together.

  8. Hallo Grace

    What a nice poem. Very fine rythm. I specially love this:
    "frail as silky web,
    each space, silver scar"

  19. Writing before daylight? In the dark? Or is it reading?
    Very graphic imaging, Grace. My problem is that I can't visualize. I can never see any sheep to count for helping to begin sleep.
