Arunansu

Arunansu

your name is a river running
smoothly through deep wooded rifts

your poems are little paper boats
carrying a candle of sandalwood and beeswax

upon the night tree's ancient branch
a black panther watches

John Fleming October 22, 2017 at 6:06 AM The name "Arunansu" sounds so very obviously Red Indian, yet there is a river in West Sussex (southern England) called the Arun...how very peculiar? Marvelous little write, Patricia. :) john Patricia Cresswell October 23, 2017 at 6:49 PM Thank you someday I will tell you about Arunansu.

Mark Peterson October 16, 2017 at 9:55 PM Now this is so innocent and beguiling, right up to the moment that you steal my breath away. Well crafted and ingenious. Patricia Cresswell October 16, 2017 at 10:23 PM Thank you Mark, Welcome to my home.
