Notes About The Poem

Fleece Quilt For Curious Stars

Gentle ripples float about his wheels,
searching inquisitive around spokes,
questioning apparent lack of motion,
now the little fish turn their backs
and swam back.
Eyes intrinsically profoundly fixated
on innermost thoughts, where loud
voices debate the time away in warm
orange evening glow, fleece quilt for 
curious stars
Ears catch finest nuances in vibration
inside, the soft rumble ebbs into loud
roar of high tide and first waves leap
and lap at his numb feet with never
ceasing hunger
As if with sorrow, he pulls the rims
and wheels himself out, thoughts
collected and arranged in fluctuations
Undulations and arranged back into
working order

Arthur Vaso February 18, 2017 at 9:23 PM Darren your poems are so filled with powerful emotion and expression, it almost pains me to read, as I wish for you the stars, joy and happiness, all that you so rightly deserve.

Lynn Marie February 18, 2017 at 8:14 PM A poem of substance, incredibly well written. To not feel you can count on your body is a feeling I am familiar with and trying to find a sense of the norm, something, anything to trust, is exhausting, frustrating and usually causes more physical pain and drains the spirit. A bit of kindness towards self goes a long way plus you have the soup!! :-) You have more strength than you know, are an inspiration to others, me included. all else fails, I read Jan's limericks to laugh! blessing, lynn Darren White February 18, 2017 at 11:22 PM It's a real terrible thing to not be able to trust your body, isn't it? It fails me in so many ways! I am slowly finding my strength. Thank you Lynn, for all your kind comments and encouraging words.
