A wry little poem here from Devonne, about telling the truth….

Is there any better place to be than your hairstylist’s chair? I am grateful for the conversation and friendship that I’ve found there. ♥️💇‍♀️♥️

Truth like glass

In Inspiration’s furnace
Poets work and strive
To create a Truth like glass
Clear, transforming
A window to other.

Gladly I will hear poetry

March 16, 2019art, poem, PoetryInspiration, poem, poetry, truth, writingThe Cheesesellers Wife

My poetry is listening
hearing whatever it is
deep within me
that sees, feels
garners joy and meaning
locates words to capture
a moment
like a pinned butterfly

This understanding
becomes something to share
with those who cannot so hear
who do not see
a plashy Hare mud-cavorting
as handwriting on
the face of the Universe.

Poem: Coat

Let me see your coat
full as it is
of laughter and tears

Let me touch your voice
as it wraps
loving ties around my bones

Let me hold your feet
sore as they are from walking
through this life

Let me see your truth
stuffed as a rucksack
with sustenance

The world within #poem #poetry

We are the body electric
Our cells sense differences
In the electricities around us

We are multitudes
blood containing cells
from parents and children

And yes, children, we are stardust
billions of stars died three times over
to make our atoms

Poetry and wonder
is our very
existence

Dancing with shadows

August 11, 2018beauty, philosophy, poem, Poetrypoem, poetry, shadows, truthThe Cheesesellers Wife

Any attempt to pin down
this exact moment, that exact image
exactly what I feel and need to say
needs words that are not born yet,
metaphors for minds not yet formed,
such is exactitude.
Yet that is what poets attempt to do.
We stand at the edge of the crowd,
listening to the music
hearing the echoes of other times and places,
and ask a shadow to dance.
