Space

it’s an endless void of emptiness in a starkness filled with play it’s a synonym of every dream in an antonym yet to try it’s a darkened apron of inkiness in a sparkling bejewelled sea it’s a long in-tangent monologue in a verse-laden melody it’s the flailing arms of solitude in a crowded room of song it’s a screaming siren tempest queen in the court of an unready king it’s high above what I can hold in the grass I lay my head it’s a dry old gaze as I’m looking up in the forming dew before bed

Excellent imagery in this spacey poem, Clive. In times we all feel we must be mimes for our poetry is not presented in the right time ... the audience doesn't get it. Our challenge is to put it out there, the right people will be led to it. (My mind was telling me ... the right people will be led to the slaughter.) LOL Write On! A poet friend to be, Bill

wow, Clive, this is a masterful creation. The title is perfect; your imagery was so real and captivating at the same time. I loved this description of space: it’s a darkened apron of inkiness in a sparkling bejewelled sea. I admire your poetic voice...have a splendid evening, Sara
