Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Collaboration By the Two of Me

A tapestry lay in an ancient sun,
Basking neath a ventrous day yet unspun,

Colorful hues of ocher and saffron,
Draws aqueous fumes that moist production,

Every eye, blossom, unhatched egg, greet, opens,
Fortuitous bounty spreads emotions,

Gathered, skins, feathers, and scales, 'bout all strewn,
Harken a flightless prayerful dove a tune,

Invocates breaths to cite a liturgy,
Jolts loose a cloak of boundless energy,

Kingpin meanders its righteous release,
Lifts a poised sky veiled like an altar piece,

Mirrored echoes o'er a restless domain,
Naked beings wild, nay wear traps of vain,

Oaths show side-by-side, generating warmths,
Pleasant touch between life, light and air, calms,

Qat leaves pools a creeks hold, stirs brew a tea,
Raven espies to hover, pecks a spree,

Symmetry fulfills in a baseless realm,
Tenacious wanton rhapsody days' whelm,

Universe descendants be a joint trust,
Vast spectered spectrums spirals to adjust,

Webbed stars a new sky, quietude abound,
Xenon fades into a nulled swarty crowned,

Yielding yawns, surrenders lids to be froze,
Zzz's orchestrates descents towards a lulled doze.

Gorgeous rhymes, lush imagery and sprinklings of alliteration make your amazing Abecedarian an absolute joy to read, William. Beautiful use of language throughout, I especially love the use of the word 'qat' - very clever! Your talent shines! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan
