All in a word….Poem

cranes-writingpoetry

Words to get lost in

Yours in particular

Rich metaphorical

Illusionary visions.

I watch them form before me

Knowing full well

You’ll weave a web

Into which I’ll gleefully step

Willingly ensnared

Happy to twist and turn.

Joyously I play

As meanings wrap round me.

I bask in the configurations

I imagine there to be

Romantic notions of love

Promises of futures unknown

Proclamations and commitments.

Political statements of conviction

Passion over the oppressed

Opinions expressed, delivered.

Nonsense, rhyme, simply words,

Randomly placed, thrown in the air

Shapes and sizes to fit all desires.
