A Positive Poem

Some wood came drifting in toward me, and feathers floated down on air. Made smooth by sand and brine of sea, some wood came drifting in toward me. Fair plumes by nature given free I give to thee with sculpture rare. Some wood came drifting in toward me, and feathers floated down on air. Written June 20, 2014 for Elly Wouterse's "A Positive Poem" Contest

Even shackled by the triolet form, (witch for me is a form so limiting as to force the write instead of creating a foundation from witch the poet can create) you write a piece that cracks open the form and lets you fly as you drift towards your finely sculptured piece. This one is very impressive Andrea.

This very pretty Andrea. Seems to me you gave to Nature the beauty that is the statue you and true. " I give to thee with sculpture rare..." that's a marvelous line, I can't stop thinking about everything that entails, its beautiful poetry. J.A.B.

A friend of mine once told me that triolets are a bore; I think I'll have to refer him to this one...I am sure he will change his mind! Love the movement of floating wood and feather. This is another winner, Andrea. // paul

A day by the sea. eh? Thanks for reading my classic movie bit. I've sunk to the lowest level, become just an old man with memories. I think I shall give up writing for a while. The flick thing was out of desperation. Love, daver
