Howard Kerr Poet Imagism

Day Peep Minstrel

Mellow mantras, 
   daub my ear,
     with rapt sultry 
       opal   peals, 
    whilst entwining,
      seamless sheath,
        of aural vista,
          whose magic wand,
             sedates yet enthusiast,
              of this morning  nomad, 
            whose quixotic quill,
        aches for ardent dawn,
    to tranquilize meandering, 
      muse off target,
     focus on,
   aurora spectrum, 
    day-peep pageant, 
  of  pristine pink,
      demure aligned,
        sun  horizon  hover,
          gliding gold wisps,    
             fleeting blue ray,
           chimera or mood swing,
         dalliance of dust grain, 
             as I allude to,
        gleaming dewdrops,
     In lofty lyric,
        prompt from,
   green leaf rustle,
      or grey twig tweak,
  silver  stream murmur, 
    moist  babble of,
      hushed hints,
      rush and ripple,
        froth rimmed swirl,
  vapour vortices visceral,
   whet my creative juice,
     from lucent pools,
           can I imagine,
     wondrous tactile trails

Sara Kendrick August 4, 2026 at 5:07 AM I like that the mantras daubed your ear. LOL..Creative phrases to describe a morning walk maybe. Way to go.

Sotto Poet August 4, 2026 at 5:03 AM Dear Howard, Your wonderful poem depicts a sensory experience bound by harmony and beauty. The "mellow mantras" and "opal peals" as soothing, precious sounds. This audiovisual combination, along with the "aurora spectrum" and "sun horizon hover," paints a vivid picture of dawn's beauty. Your poem expresses wonder and calm as the you connect with nature. The "quixotic quill" longing for "ardent dawn" depicts creativity and inspiration. Imagining "gleaming dewdrops," "silver stream murmur," and "moist babble" creates a peaceful scene. Hearty Congrats on your great contest placement.🌹🌹👏👍

Hiya Sharma August 3, 2026 at 9:27 PM Dear Howard, this is very vivid and artistic, your words create an intricate tapestry of surreal imagery and visceral emotions ~ almost felt like pirouetting in the circling wind! And the lil alliteration magic that you've streaked is absolutely enchanting here. "sultry opal peals, whilst entwining, seamless sheath, of aural vista," "day-peep pageant, of pristine pink, demure aligned, sun horizon hover, gliding gold wisps, " just wow these are my fav parts! And the use of chimera there.. absolutely a pleasure reading your words always. Sending light and best wishes ~ ✨🌙🧜‍♀️🐚🌙✨
