William Kelii Kekaula Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Flourished Fragments

Flourished Fragments

A solemness writhed gently and claimed me,
As an exposed album conceived in years,
Suspended in time, with light dust debris,
For musing eyes glide fingers while mind clears.

As an exposed album conceived in years,
Braves new looks, giving it the once over,
For musing eyes glide fingers while mind clears,
Resurrects cognizance that takeover.

Braves new looks, giving it the once over,
Breathes life to old photos, the sleeper wakes,
Resurrects cognizance that takeover,
Garner grins joined by tears, oft laughter breaks.

Breathes life to old photos, the sleeper wakes,
Suspended in time, with light dust debris,
Garner grins joined by tears, oft laughter breaks,
A solemness writhed gently and claimed me.

Eve Roper July 19, 2020 at 11:15 AM William, I see you had your mind on old photos and remembering when. I too tend to do the same as it brings me peace and wish my children were still small, they were such joy. Congratulations on your win.
