Carrie Richards Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Randomly

Dusting off the windowsill
I marvel at the whirlwind
A thousand constellations
Have circled around my head.

Randomly they curl, and make a sequin band
Filling up the empty space, the void of vacant dreams.

Revolving they will land 
Scattered wild and free
Then settle into worlds
Too small to ever see

Sandra Haight September 9, 2015 at 10:55 AM Carrie, what wonderful imagery in your poem, and so much to think about in so few words. Very powerful...reminds me of a Sonnet I wrote with the last lines..."What great dimension of the vast beyond...Makes earth a microscopic vagabond?" Congratulations on your excellent win! 7+Fav, Hugs, Sandra
