Daver Austin Poet Etheree

Bits and Pieces -Two Etheree

BITS AND PIECES – two etheree

life
a short 
existence
by a window –
this simple stranger
in a complex structure
watching earth, land, sea and sky
pass o’er plains and woods and mountains high
to slowly, endlessly strive and gather,
by blind reason, bits and pieces of truth


choose
the sound
that lifts soul –
a sweet music
given by heaven
to light man’s awareness
and which soothes the savage breast,
for the world, ever violent.
needs the international strains,
inspired music, with words of peace and love

Dave Austin

Andrea Dietrich February 5, 2017 at 7:58 PM very lovely, my friend. I am so glad I thought to come visit you today and find these new etheree. I hope you are well. Luv, Andrea

Carolyn Devonshire February 3, 2017 at 3:42 AM Daver, both of these poems are outstanding. You made good use of the etheree form. In the first one, you convey the growth and knowledge that comes as a person matures. The second shows the comfort and peacefulness that music promotes. Excellent! Haven't heard whom you want to sin in the Super Bowl. I'm cheering for the Falcons. Lots of problems lately. We should catch up!
