Notes About The Poem

Earthly Thoughts Shimmer

Jewel  layer templates
gilded upstream sigh
winsome eyelet skimmed
scorning  dawn orb
Delphic mustard sketch
on sapphire sequins 
Appalachian awning 
bearing flimsy nuggets
surreal slender straw’s 
amber seam gore 
lentil seed pod float
upon cashmere shrub 
rainbird doleful cry
of damp gray epoch 
amid citrus rind 
cloud form sun drench 
flabbergasted bard now
flailing as tinted 
backscatter orange 
alert impacts 
banana belt script
beleaguered  poet yens
tangential sepia pitch
for effervescent voyage
golden jug  muse 
saliva whorl thimbleful
as earthly thoughts 
shimmer edgeways
while the isthmus 
of indented arcades
random periwinkle 
brushed aside by 
spineless  green matrix 
adapted pun bound
to lace immersive 
benign rapt plumage
hedgerow chirper squall
willow warbler, goldcrest
red bunting, greenfinch
broader scope anon
spotted flycatcher fitz-bew
amongst Glen thicket
a subdued tumult 
but latent twitter
mint  coda riot
paper craft adrift
hankers after worlds
ethereal and 
neon-wrought ploy
incandescent dream lure
suburb tang visceral
round acorn strip
fenced circlegram 
hub, imbiber of
fluctuating shade 
and swerve corridor 
of urban transit 
where pavement 
clad mosaic flaunts 
its pear cut diamond

A panorama poem of nature's finery, Howard. It's depth is astounding. Just so beauteous. Early spring greetings, poetry friend. ~
