About This Poem

Hammock of the Sky


silken macramé soars through iced

                                        vapors while touching lost dreams…


 hushed clouds draw faint images…

                                        ancient kings whisper in sleep

 


Written for Nette’s Contest-Hammock in the Sky
Gwendolen Rix
Modern Tanaga-Philippine Short Form

    Ethereal Gwendolen and I can envision the clouds purposefully becoming this scene. Funny but one of my downtime games is to watch the clouds and see what they become--sometimes it's amazing--as you allude to here.

    Stunning Tanaga by you Gwen! Beautiful images spring up in the mind reading this. No I had to look up macrame on the net to find out. I have however seen products made using this style of weaving rather knotting. Thank you dear for stopping by with your sweet words.
