Agnes Krampe Poet Free verse

Climbing Raven Rocks

I dance upwards;
below me,
the waves slap the cliffs
and beat the rhythm.

Wind whipped clouds gallop
with flying manes
across the blue plain of the sky.

The wild geese resent
our intrusion;
honking displeasure,
they swoop a warning: 
we are guests here.

Amid the cedar fragrance
of summer and freedom,
I lean back
into the arms of the world.

Jan Allison April 18, 2017 at 4:47 PM WOW Agnes I am in awe of you and your incredible hobby, I adore the imagery in the poem especially the honking geese:-) hugs Jan xx Agnes Krampe April 18, 2017 at 7:20 PM Thanks, Jan. The geese live on the rocks and were quite adamant that it's their territory; they swooped very low over us in a mock attack. Geese can be quite ferocious, and I was glad they had realized we don't pose a danger and do not warrant a serious attack.

Chris Green April 18, 2017 at 4:34 PM Exactly what Anne Marie said. A peaceful serenity is what I felt in your words today Agnes. Your talent always amaze me. Agnes Krampe April 18, 2017 at 7:18 PM Thank you so much, Chris - peaceful serenity was exactly what I felt that day, and it makes me so happy that you could feel it in the poem.
