Pale Garment

My anti-aesthetic garment spews out priest
Michael stands in river between olive trees
whose roots draw libido like Daphne's laurels
Apollo wore, in my drifting slumbering
pale Astro Projection where we meet again

Robert Warlov Date: 8/29/2025 5:03:00 PM just received a copy (email) of your "poem" but I see it's 2 years old already. As a fellow poet (of the oppressed American variety), I wanted to welcome you to the realm. American "free speech" (I note in your other commentary response) is a cultural aspiration as much as our perpetual political activity to 'Perfect our Union' is. ~ "Demo-cracy" is a slippery dance floor with no limitations upon which you may offer your perfect joyful dance but please take-care to stay off other people's toes.

Beata Agustin Date: 9/19/2023 7:31:00 AM Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Login to Reply Norma Mahns Date: 9/19/2023 8:33:00 AM Why thank you Beata Lord Jesus Christ has been my Lord and Savior for over 66 years. The beauty of poetic justice in America is freedom of speech and the arousal poetry is intended to generate. I appreciate your comment.
