Notes About The Poem
Karen Jones' Stevie Wonder Contest...14 Apr 25
Inspiration from Stevie'Wonder's song and lyrics...
I just called to say I love you /
I just called to say how much I care, I do /
I just called to say I love you /
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart/
I Just Called To Say I Love You
Nightbird croons at me again, again
beneath a sheet of clouds,
like cozy pillow to my moon
to tuck my ruffled mind away...
Through drizzle's fading glint and flow
I muse about my man's upstate ride
quite distant , quite stretched the miies
as evening floats in decibels of gust,
rivering in tuneful pitter-patter of ticks.
~°~
Winds brush gently... outside my sill,
that between teapot and lamp’s flicker
slow gush of trickling dew rolls away---
The phone rings in a hush-a-bye,
chiming low, his voice drones to sigh
like tangy breeze on moistened flight
telling me ...my face outshines
all nightstar beaming,
that he called to simply say
he loved me more fearless in the rain.
