Susan Woodrow Poet Kyrielle

Katarina

Where shall I go to embrace your heat?
...where the waves upon the sand beat,
and the palms in answer sway …
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~

Where shall I go to behold your light?
…where torrid rains mist to a rainbow flight,
and hibiscus gold, on the beach stray…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~ 

Where shall I go to taste your kiss?
…where the brook burbles with bubbly bliss,
and the rocks in aqua, splay…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~

Where shall I go for your quiet, laced?
…where the doves coo but hide their face,
and ancient greens, swish through the gray…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~

Where shall I go to inhale your scent?
…where gingers spice till their reds are spent
and 'Tiare' snow falls from cliffs in May…
O Sun, to Karina, sweep me away ~

Where shall I go for your heavenly grace?
…where beams bathe life in a special place
and spirits glide as the dolphins play…
O Sun, in Karina, I pray to stay ~

Jennifer Fenn March 8, 2021 at 6:22 PM What a gorgeous poem Susan. I’ve never heard of a Kyrielle. I’ll have to try it. Susan Woodrow March 8, 2021 at 8:57 PM thank you Jennifer...I discovered the form on soup a few years ago :)

Sam Kauffman November 28, 2020 at 10:28 AM Beautiful poem, Susan. Every line and every stanza are bathed in your bright images. Love the flowing questions. Congratulations. I too love the gardenia. My favorite is August Beauty which does bloom in August and fills the garden with that unmistakable perfume. All the best to you! Susan Woodrow November 28, 2020 at 11:47 AM thank you...yes, gardenias are probably the most mentioned flowers in all my writes ...congrats and best wishes :)

Chris Green December 5, 2019 at 1:50 PM Then I say thank you to those two contests for the inspiration because this was magical and beautiful Susan. It has a song-like quality to it that had me captured by its melody. This was amazing. Susan Woodrow December 5, 2019 at 1:55 PM oh thank you Chris! that is high praise to me, for your writes are some of the most smoothly melodic :)
