Notes About The Poem
Silent One's Dear Poetry Contest...5 Sept 26

Dear Poetry

You mock  me again 
   as fevered wrist begins to pulse 
from the hinges... barbed vignettes glide, 
while swoosh of rain 's ink 
bathes upon the sill's  lattice...

I reach for its nectar , 
this breath sipping the language of words 
         yearning to be born : 
 From my window, 
a gush filters through hooks 
...  muddying my quill on shingles 
                 your verses bouncing around, round
to tumble into drafts of musings 
   searching for silence In chaos--
   for moist within my drying cave ;

and from this irreverent place, 
    I allow the grace of muse's  charm
 to open my soul's voice like an outpour
      of  virginal dew...
a promise to cruise into your unknown trails,
       this papyrus enticed, lines mocking me again :

 Somehow, late dusk arrives with tinge of lamplight 
           bringing a thrill along my fingers ,
  sensualidad grating , yes...rising like so,
 ready to greet the ache, the tremble,
     the ravaged beginnings 
   of pain's melody... half-desecrated, half-wise.

A lush, self-aware free-verse meditation on the difficult seduction of making poems. The cascading spacing, ellipses, and fluid line breaks beautifully enact the rain-soaked, fevered movement of inspiration: language arrives as both wound and nectar, chaos and grace. “Pain’s melody… half-desecrated, half-wise” is an especially powerful closing note.

Wow, Nette, the language of your poems is so intriguing. "A promise to cruise into your unknown trails," for example. And a great ending line, too. Wonderfully written. Moon Harp
