You are wrapped in clouds
Wearing a face mask
Feet to the stars, and moon-skulled
You reel in fishbones & blues
While reading palms of dreamers
I pen my canvas
with the last of summer warmth
My feet on fallen crab apples
Caterpillared by sudden rain
Clowning happiest with sounds of your laughter
Line: Feet to the stars, and moon-skulled
Posted for dVerse Poets Pub - Clowning around, by Lisa Fox. Thanks for your comments and visits.
This is very beautiful, with such original imagery.
ReplyDeleteI love the chosen line and how you weaved it with your words, especially those fishbones & blues. The end of summer is magnificent this year where we live.
ReplyDeleteI nearly paired ‘feet to the stars’ with ‘moon-skulled’ but in the end I went for ’A clean slate, with your own face on’. ‘You are wrapped in clouds / Wearing a face mask’ made me think of a cosmic pamper session, Grace, and I love the idea of reeling in ‘fishbones & blues / While reading palms of dreamers’. The second stanza is so joyful.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with that line, Grace. Such a happy poem of intimacy and contentment.
ReplyDeleteLoving this version of enjoying a fading summer...feet on fallen crab apples. A wonderful take on the prompt!

Wonderful work, Grace!
This is beyond beautiful, Grace. Oh, my! The imagery, the terminology, the choice of lexicon, you've intrigued my mind's eye greatly! It's such a delightful piece to read from start to finish. I especially love the positive connotations in the second stanza. Wonderful and masterful work. Your writing style is a treat.
ReplyDeleteHappiness in company.
