A Poem From 1966

Days above morning, flying leaves leaving Out crimson’s crisp echo before the sharp blast. Out crimson’s crisp echo I flying leaves leavings, watch days above morning will sharp winds ride? In this calm serene half-a-world away unseen high and high gasping the highest col raking in final pierced rays of a cold sun’s begone on grays of fierce snow crystal crystal quiet alone caused shattered collapses of ice-tons descending is there a noise if no one can hear?

Hi Tash, Thanks for liking the format. To me it is like forcing a breath so that it helps set the irregular cadence that goes along with the words, phrases, and thought patterns. It is easy to do with music, but tougher with words. In my mind poems should be read like great dramatic Shakespearean soliloquies. Thanks again! Dave

Thanks, VB. I have some other old stuff that I hope is worthy. In a while I hope to pick up the pen again and see what comes out of this old being. Cheers, Dave
