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

Deep connections to a relationship powerfully unveiled with stimulating imagery, "pale Astro Projection" is my favorite phrase.

Well Norma, I love this poem, but, I'm a little jealous. At my age, the only thing my libido draws are flies!

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.

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."

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.
