Jaymee Thomas Poet Imagism

Imagination Waits

Plain brick walls
Wait for clinking cans of spray paint
To color in streetwise notions
Beyond the naked eye

Quiet strings of violins
Wait for hands to draw across bows
Or play pizzicato melodies
Beyond the well-trained ear

Blank pages
Wait for clever pens
To write stories and verses
Beyond the bare mind

Sparks of star light
Wait for a ready lifeforce
To ignite a hellmouth fire 
Beyond the ordinary self

Daniel Henry Rodgers January 20, 2024 at 5:07 PM Dear Jaymee, this is a poetic celebration of creativity lying in wait, ready to transform the mundane into something extraordinary. Your vivid imagery of brick walls, violins, blank pages, and sparks of starlight beautifully captures the anticipation of artistic expression. Your words evoke a sense of possibility, encouraging us to see beyond the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary waiting within our own imagination. Outstanding! - Daniel
