a poem that I wrote today
about the wind
has blown away
my similes
once children clapping
became their pillowed smiles
when napping
meanwhile
I’m left counting words
which skitter swift
as hummingbirds
oh a poem is a fleeting thing
a trace of music on the wing
glinting sunlight in the eye
whispered prayer
blissful sigh
moment’s grace
frowny face
heartbeat beating
delightfilled
fleeting
Beautiful Joan – i llove your words — everything about the fleeting poem, the children napping…what a wondrous world you take me to and how i missed it! Blessings, love, hugs! 🙂
