Dormant

Listen to poem:
I have so many poems
dormant within my psyche
sitting waiting for a cull

midst fizzing to the surface
words circle above my head
in iridescent bubbles
dancing hovering in flight

the songbird fledgings soaring
seeing which take to the perch
as I hold out pen or finger

Oooh! This is wonderfully written. A FAVE for me (tinged with an itsy-bitsy tint of jealousy, I confess). Best wishes, Gershon

"dormant within my psyche" - I love it that you know this, for sometimes I do not. This poem is beautifully done, with clear imagery of thought.
