Action! we learned of verbs as always doing and movement first assumes mammalian warmth corpuscular vitality at least – pointedly tail-ended by directions; the smooth space-curve up and onwards or merely migration along the horizontal plane from there to here with no incline inferred by just a tug on chordae tendineae strings that make mid-shoulder blades tingle as buds of residual wings stir with love angel or cupidon, the difference barely a thread for hearts win heads, even reluctant eyes swim against a tidal sway of affect; this too we call moving and as if to prove it so the verb tracks occurrence of all our tears in spate
Today marksa blog move and the inception of PoetryPix with this ‘Moving’ poem. Back in the Blogosphere am toasting Kim as she hosts another: Open Link Night.

Oh my… those lines “strings that make mid-shoulder blades tingle as buds of residual wings stir with love” – beautiful!
thank you for being moved Kiki and for following me over here ⭐
I was struck by the same lines as Kiki and have to echo her in this too: Beautiful!
many thanks Robin – I like to think we have wings about us somewhere!
Hi Laura! You might like let your old followers on WordPress know that they won’t let you follow unless you sign out of WordPress completely.
hello and thank you for the technical advice Bryan as I would never have known – will add postscripts to my old blog notifications
I enjoyed your poem…and those moving verbs.
and i appreciate your appreciation Annell
I’m with Kiki on that stand-out line. A blog debut with great verbal and visual flourish, Laura. (Lots of happy hurrahing and general cheering all round).
for some reason this took a long while to get going so thank you for the loud cheers and glad to see you here (aha the first lines of a poem that rhymes …)
I know a great deal about things taking a long time to get going. Am wondering if it’s a state that descends upon one, and if there is something you can take for it ;). All of which is to say blooming well done.
You’re blooming lovely – thank you
Thank you for sharing this poem on OLN, Laura! I love your description of verbs assuming mammalian warmth and/or corpuscular vitality, pointedly tail-ended and with smooth space-curve’! This made me smile. I also like the lines:
‘…even reluctant eyes swim
against a tidal sway of affect; this too we call moving
and as if to prove it so the verb tracks occurrence
of all our tears in spate’.
Happy to hear you were moved to smile too – thanks for hosting Kim
Hope the unpacking goes smoothly. A toast to your new-old digs and congrats on your relo 🙂
Lovely comment Jilly – wish I’d called it new-old digs now 😉 p.s. Hope you have recovered from the Harrisonians!
Love the moving verbs and the hint of angel wings… great new look on your blog
Glad you noticed Björn- flights of fancy here!
Nice phrase: “swim
against a tidal sway of affect”
Thanks Frank – not much of a swimmer myself but a reluctant tear jerker
