Notes About The Poem

The Beautiful Impossible Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Sotto Poet 

The Beautiful Impossible Motion ...... POTD ......

The beautiful impossible motion, can we see, feel, touch motion? No, we see, feel, touch the results of motion. Motion stands still, until we use it. We humans have no motion until we move, walking, running, or maybe dancing. Even weather has no motion, until it speaks. The winds blow with motion, we then see the leaves move. Everything starts out with no motion, moving gives motion to the movement. We can not see, feel or touch motion, yet we can see, feel, touch motion in action. What a wonderful impossible thing motion has been.

Congratulations Paula on your (not so motionless POTD, I love the idea of things we can’t quite see, only their effects, gravity inertia, etc, hopefully you have time to put your feet up now, and enjoy running through all your (moving) comments lol! Cheers David

Dear Paula, I really enjoyed your POTD. You’ve taken something we all take for granted and held it still long enough to look at it. The leaf, the wind, the body, each waking up because something unseen nudges it forward. A lovely meditation, and it left me thinking about how much of life begins then reveals itself in movement. Beautiful work. Blessings, Daniel

This is a lovely poem Paula. Its not something I've ever stopped to consider. The cause and effect of motion and how what we feel is only the results such as feeling the wind or seeing the wind move the leaves. 🌳🍃🍂😊 ... congrats on your honour for POTD today ☺️😉🌸
