Suzanne Delaney Poet Free verse

Dialogue of Place

Should I whisper words
that hang on memory’s peaks,
cumulous across my forehead?

A world of words - connected
like tides to the moon.

Words that mingle and rise,
as mist from a valley 
or, dwell in half forgotten dreams;
endless as ocean waves,
or vistas of flowering fields.

Beautiful words
that tell me of my place.

Suzanne Delaney

Timothy Hicks February 27, 2016 at 6:43 PM Poetry is everywhere ... you just have the eyes to see it, the mind to reflect on it, and the heart to cherish it; and I think you have all three of these qualities. Beautiful nature analogies, Suz. Your place is wherever your pen chooses to spill it's ink :) Suzanne Delaney March 3, 2016 at 2:36 PM Thanks Tim: .....for your thoughtful comments, always. You also have the soul of a dreamer and a poet - never change. Hugs, SuZ

Connie Marcum Wong February 20, 2015 at 11:14 AM Dear Suz, I am back to encourage and inspire you to write another lovey poem like this one! I miss you. Love, Connie Suzanne Delaney March 3, 2016 at 2:39 PM Dear Connie: I have been very remiss in replies and participation lately. John is not well and not only that we have made a huge decision to downsize and move. Getting the house straight for listing is a huge under taking. Loved, always, SuZ
