Dancing To Music Only She Can Hear - For Contest

began,        she journeys to the deepest place 
following                   the road laid in her path

nothing              now can halt her race for life 
welcoming                  the nourishment within 

making           ground she digs in for the fight  
feeling                 safe within her calm cocoon

growing        more with each new passing day 
kicking            out she stretches wide her bed   

capturing             the stuff of life she breathes
drinking                       deeply from elixirs cup

responding       to the sound of mother’s voice 
dancing                 to music only she can hear

Eileen Manassian October 2, 2015 at 2:59 PM Intriguing format, Bill. I think that the divide there makes it such that you can read it was two poems or as one whole entity. Dancing to that inner music is sweet....Is this about the birth of a baby? That's the feel I get from the lines. Lovely. Bill Lindsay October 2, 2015 at 4:07 PM it is! thanks for taking the time to read me. Blessyer ;)

Anna Hopper October 2, 2015 at 11:32 AM I don't comprehend this style of poem. That is a shame for me. Excellent! Good luck! Bill Lindsay October 2, 2015 at 11:34 AM what is it you don't understand, Anna? Can I help?
