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
