Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Disparate

Disparate, she commented,
The word reverberating
As fond music, with pleasant 
Measures and tingly tones -- 
And should we not be open
To others’ voices, divergence of
Thinking? As with clear-eyed
And blinking, a look-see is worth
The now, hoping, anticipated 
Enlivened journey of daring 
Vistas, elongated dimensions -- 
Spirit/mind ever on the hunt for
Spirit/source – life is a series
Of Lost And Founds...squares
Seeking their counterpart rounds -- 
Not diametrically opposed, just
Points and edges making intriguing
Bounds – but never a harmony all 
Quaking Spheres.  Simply enjoying
A unique volume of eyes, noses, voices 
And pert little ears.

"Disparate" was a word Valsa used in one of her comments, that intrigued and motivated this write. Something so alive about the word transcending the ordinary. Blessings my friend.

Valsa George May 25, 2026 at 8:27 PM Picking up disparate elements- "Not diametrically opposed, just Points and edges making intriguing Bounds – but never a harmony all Quaking Spheres." Great depth and amazing insight! Wonderful composition. Valsa George May 27, 2026 at 9:21 AM I didn't know you were referring to what l commented. I feel honoured if the word 'disparate' that l used sounded music to your ears and inspired you. Joseph P. DiMino May 26, 2026 at 5:54 AM Well, you did it again. Thank you for "Disparate". I don't usually publicly dedicate poems to other writers who inspire me, just not to embarrass them should my work entirely flop. Guilty by association. Blessings my friend. Have a wonderful, creative day!
