Ponder

Elephantine
Slow motion measures
out of time
in pace
Great go-between
grows notions
in lines 
and space
Eglantine
embows fragrant pleasure
springtime's
embrace
Mezzanine
bon mot for half measure
lying low
in place
Intervene
plover distraction
displeasure
paradigm
about face
Serene
glow sensate pleasure
time felt
with grace

Some of us need that gentle push in the right direction, SO, and I have been here often to read poets, their consistent work has kept me writing. But your poem " Dedicated to all the poets" really touched my poetic soul. I thank you for your caring about other poets here! (((Hugs))) It might take a while to settle into a stride, but I'm looking forward to being more active. It's been good to see others returning to post. Reassuring. : )
