James Peranteau Poet Free verse

Beneath Mine Sole

.

               Far 
               far 
   beneath mine sole
       I reach down

 Imagine mine stretch
   as I touch what is 
             so low

 Conceive if thine vista
            permits

this city park's fountain
 and the sparkle at its 
            bottom
      and what the I
    could do with this
          now mine
             pence

Carolyn Devonshire September 14, 2010 at 3:51 PM The coins in the fountain are so alluring, aren't they James? I think there may be a double reference here on glittering memories of the past that seem unobtainable now. Quite a provocative image in this "sparkling" poem, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

Daver Austin September 14, 2010 at 7:59 AM Beautiful, Sir James. This is such a body removed piece. It really takes you almost out of mind. Such a talent you have my friend. Love, Dave
