Iris E. Sankey- Lewis Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Following an afternoon snooze, I looked past twin windows to sky and still life branches

twiddled by breeze and rain; and then I glanced within to bouquet of silk flowers, and as I savored peaceful moment, I thought of poetry beyond words. Rewriting it has been good challenging journey.

Poetry Is More Than Words Can Say

I hear grand piano music floating in from afar
It is poetry so crisp, it's crystal clear.

Poetry is chandeliers on high ceiling of white
It is polished parquet in spaces with soft light.

Poetry is grand plies performed with perfect poise
Like choreographed parts rated free of noise.

Poetry is rainbow-arched windows, wide as love for you
Such language conveys heart's pulsation, soft as dew.

But there's more!
Poetry is precious sound of deep unending peace
It tugs at our heartstrings, new heights of joy is reached.

Poetry awakens my soul to the good in you
Though caution comes in, love rules.

Poetry is slow caress, of each and every word
Like perfect pastels of my smiles, haven't you heard?

Poetry is alive like our rhythm without blues
It is vibrant, yet so profoundly smooth.

Poetry is sun and moon in fullness of soft glow
They're like friends, helping us to grow.

Poetry is starlight of joy in your eyes I see
It is spark I adore, even though you're not with me.

Poetry is our stream of dreams helping us to sea
It's fused with might, and mingles with light, you see.

Poetry is you and I in our silent orbs
Inspiring song, dance, and serenity.
