Morning Stillness

MORNING STILLNESS


reflective black pool
                when off

   the writer’s image
                   like ink

illuminating morning
         recessed stars

         her cell phone
                    asleep

Kim, this is a profound and ingenious little poem. My brain was 'off' when I first read it, but not 'asleep'. Yes, the cell has become embedded into people's DNA, and they don't realize that its invasion greatly limits their 'reflection'. An enthusiastic 7:) Amitiés

Good morning Kim. No wonder you didn't answer when I called. :) Just kidding. The stillness of the morning is a time of day that I enjoy immensely. Your poem expresses these serene moments wonderfully
