Making of Poetry

The mountain stream chisels a valley As narrow as the neck of a swan The water dancing down in musical cascades Crashing on the rocky ledges Splashes silvery drops spiraling high. They carry the expression The stream proffers to the rock and to the sky. The water rushing down the vale in a torrent Rolling on pebbles strewn on the bed Sings an endless song of divine jubilation. It carries the expression The stream proffers to the pebbles and to the vale. A magnolia tree stands straight in the valley Green as the emerald water of deep sea The leaves dancing in the rippling breeze Falling softly on the ground Whisper autumn tunes to dew-tipped grass. They carry the expression The tree proffers to the breeze and to the grass. The buds unfurl the petals in sunshine Like dream-laden eyelids after deep sleep Splatter pollens in the spring air Enticing the flitting butterflies. They carry the expression The flowers proffer to the air and to the butterflies. The verdant valley is full of expression In search of a poet to write a poem On the mountain stream that cascades Around the magnolia tree shedding autumn leaves On the flowers of spring alluring the butterflies For you to laud the beauty and be charmed by rhythm. The moonlight floods the alley In a romantic mist as mystic as the secret of heart The young couple in the flood of light Looks in each other’s eyes of dreams The touch of love makes the silence play violin. It carries the unspoken words The couple says to the dreams and to the silence. The street lamp lights the alley in moonless night With the glow as soft as the touch of spring zephyr A mother walks carrying her child on her lap Like an angel through the heavenly cloud. The child makes sound the mother understands The kiss mother gives touches the heart child feels. They carry the words The child says in sound and the mother says in a kiss. The alley is full of words In search of a poet to write a poem On the young couple in the moonshine On the mother walking with the child on her lap For you to grasp the emotion and be enthralled by lyric. _______________ April 24, 2022 Contest : Poem On Poetry Muse Sponsored by : Beata Agustin
