Joe Maverick Poet Couplet

Fall Shades, On the Ochred Phloem

Senses are aware of a cavernousness, 
And of a stillness almost quietley abrupt..!

softness of light & air surround all, 
deft as breath as from a doves wing reposing

billows of liquid descending are as grains,
the seeds of an "almost raining"

A lowering of horizion encompasses,
Valley, ridge, and outcropping crag's

the listening atmosphere waits...
breathless as soil is enriching

Close by mammals disturb the folds of fallen bracken,
with bursts of muffled sound, as hand in hand lovers stroll around


Poem by Joe Maverick copyright 27 9 2011
This poem is for Michael J. Falotico's falling in love in the fall contest:)

Michelle Mac Donald June 6, 2012 at 8:51 PM Ah, you are the master of images and intrigue, Joe. Feels like a forced reclusive silence, a time for "a doves wing reposing", perhaps a time for reconciliation "as hand in hand lovers stroll around". A lovely though profound write, Joe! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

Poet Destroyer A June 2, 2012 at 3:39 PM I can value every word here, much can be demonstrated with your breath taking passionate walking image alone. I'm carrying a sweet sensation with the circles around the soon to be asleep sun,.. I want this sweet shady sensation, even if it disturbs other peaceful light ... i love your second couplet the most.. it brings out the softness in your write.. love your overwhelmed falling in love win..xox~PD
