David Williams Poet Free verse

And So It Goes On

And so it goes on. The tinted sky flies so fast.
Birds screeching on Dovers hill while sheep 
pacifistically graze. The lime green leaves 
shimmer and wave in a sudden breath of wind.

In the lee of the valley small bodies with 
elongated shadows meander through 
the surf of long grass. The return of the 
swallows zip-wiring across endless sky
signifies that life continues. 

The limes, blues and greens pirouette
and dance, blurring into a red sun.

Mark J. Halliday June 3, 2014 at 2:04 PM Nice write, particularly liked the ending's imagery. If the Dover referred to is the one on the coast of England, you might like my piece Call La Manche.

Connie Marcum Wong June 2, 2014 at 6:12 PM Your poem leaves me breathless David. How I wish you could share this at PFT. There must be a way. I am still trying to find one. My nephew knows about computers and he will be coming to fix it so I can scan soon, so I shall ask him for help. Thank you for this window into your beautiful country.

Chuck Melugin May 30, 2014 at 3:30 PM Dear David.. Your write brilliantly describes the majesty of Dover! how I long for a return visit. 7 My best, chuck

Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2014 at 10:43 PM wow, david, what a gorgeous little description of a scene. I am curious why you call this "light poetry" Maybe we have different definitions for that form.

Carolyn Devonshire May 29, 2014 at 4:48 PM Dear David, How I want to see the images you created so masterfully on the White Cliffs of Dover. I especially enjoy the thought of swallows "zip-wiring across endless sky." Beautifully written, my friend! Love, Carolyn PS-The Dover Cliffs were featured in the Robin Hood movie with Kevin Costner. How grand they are!
