Sparks
mid-sentence they held my attention
eye-catching sparks of early bright sun
maydaying in becalmed acres of grass
I figured metal foil loosely crumpled
resplendent, silver-quickened
not gaudy geegaws, gold or brass
one of nature’s objet trouvé trinkets
clichéd on pendant, brooch or bracelet’s
charm – semblance of wire and plexiglas
~ii~
a dessicated old soul of the season
earth and blunt blades a lasting lament
dragonfly’s congenital completion
October and we cannot fail to remember
thought-stopping sparks of enlightenment
lines of faith re-drawn in water
Dedicated to the memory of a devoted friend and teacher – and joining with other Sunday versifyers at Poetry Pantry
