“Sunset like the grasshopper
flying”.
Ezra Pound.
Twisted arms over a head…
Spera voices…
Hopping steps to the bath…
I feed grapes to the ladybug…
while get lost in your poems,
in their flux…
Apple-rape, my emotional day
finds me clinging for
the hands and arrows,
choosing gps-shorter/faster path.
Atmosphere of caring yet royal
tolerance and grace,
switching levels between
high and low,
changing ‘locks
& dams’.
Someone gets
wax-poetic
watching
hands-swans in play;
look for
rhythm/melodic patterns
when your
life on display.
On the way
back –
a buzzing
hand of egg timer
Deja vue –
uncompleted desires,
obligations,
encounters, tasks…
Pure suggestions:
‘Find your
flow’, ‘Be real’,
‘Touch the
ground’,
and all 24
hours:
‘Get
optimized’.

That is some emotional day ~ I specially like this part:

Yeah, emotional! ~ Thanks, Grace.
DeleteI could feel the ups and downs of the day in this and how poetry could become the stabilizing force, perhaps. And how life can become a poem in its own right.
ReplyDeleteGolden words, Victoria. Thanks for hosting the OLN at d'Verse. Nice to see you again here, at my blog :)x
DeleteThe way we are always hunting for those new impressions .. Sometimes it's time to disconnect.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's the everyday experience. Influences- everywhere, how to escape? ~ Thanks, Bjorn!
DeleteI like the idea of getting optimized. We all need to find a way to do this...whether we take the shorter/faster path or the longer/slower path which shows us more scenery. Smiles. It is great, however, to get lost in poetry along the way.
ReplyDeleteAh, how right is that! I really lost myself today in the poetry, but enjoyed the process tremendously! ~ Thank you, Mary!
DeleteI like the flow of your poem Humbird, the way you switch from frenzy to a more optimistic and serene tone at the end.
ReplyDeleteStrive to be positive, Gabriella! Thanks for stopping by :)x
DeleteThis poem flew weaving in out of separate times - timers - clocks, the now, the then, the words and acronyms so current, then feel of nature so eternal. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, time - the new magic in our time! We're rapidly approaching the shift of boundaries past/present/future when the subject will be manifested in now...~ Thank you very much for stopping by! Much appreciated! :)x
DeleteUps and downs of the day as it weaves away, can sure lead one to have quite the day. But we have to unhook here and there indeed
ReplyDeleteWhen we get closer look-
DeleteIt's easy to unhook!
~ Thanks for stopping by
while talking fine :)
Wow, get optimized indeed! Your words took me on a fascinating journey in just those few verses and, in the end, delivered me to a place I hadn't realized I wanted to go till we were there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking this ride with me :)
DeleteEnjoyed the linguistic ambition and sparkle in this piece -a joy to read.. With Best wishes Scott www.scotthastie.com
ReplyDeleteJust improvising under influence of big master...Thanks!
DeleteLots of indecision and uncertainty. Hope it played out well.
ReplyDeleteLearning...the process , you know....and 'tolerance' seems in need today. ~ Thanks!
Deletei do believe in getting all optimized 24 hours in now..as there are only limitations and expectations..that can slow me down in this..there is always so much more to be learned and loved...life is a joy..as long as there is more..life..only life..is what i need..to complete the journey forevermorenowasonejourney....true....:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for support! Much Love:)
DeleteSuch powerful words, I felt your day as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen! Enjoy warm Sunday :)x
DeleteI enjoyed your piece...fun and never knew what was coming! I like the idea of getting optimized! That's the ticket!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's hard to achieve, but it's a goal. Thank you, Annell xx
DeleteThank you, dear Joanny! It's help to see clear, when look through others' eyes...Happy Sunday! :)x
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling all energised after reading this. A refreshing piece ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks you!
DeleteI so love these lines - "look for rhythm/melodic patterns
ReplyDeletewhen your life on display."
Music helps for sure :)xx Thank you, Sherry!
ReplyDeleteThis is gleefully intriguing. Wish I could get a glimpse of your mind when you wrote it. I love the image of feeding a ladybug grapes; also liked this passage a lot-

Best,
