Water and Glass

WATER & GLASS Watermarks immersed in fluids weave a whirlpool stream of words washing and waning while wavy waterways weep wet with tears gurgles will gush Translucent crystal clear reflects geometric gems opaque flute glass glacial visible gloss glimmers glitter from guilt © Kim van Breda—September 2014

I'm re-reading this poem with new eyes. Thanks for revealing to me your intention and inspiration. That three word transition in the middle makes a nice bridge between both sides of the spectrum. Definitely a unique piece.

The beautiful aspect of guilt is that it gives one an opportunity to own their actions, accountability is a reward for those unashamed of who they are, unafraid of their future. Your poetic psychology is rich in moral debate Kim...J.A.B.

Thanks Justin Rich and moral debates are easy when you put them out from just one side. I would probably fail hopelessly in a live- one-on-one debate--- appreciate your deep insight as always.

You know I'm not really sure what it all means - but there's real originality in your descriptions. Geometric gems? Yes, please. I'm also intrigued by how sparkling that water must be to feel guilty about it... fascinating.

Hi Time.... Here's how this poem came to mind... I was thinking of all the things water and glass have in common-- then it turned into an Alliteration with separate stanza's for water and glass--- and well... we don't always drink water out of glasses do we? :) Hence... too much 'bubbly' and its consequences will bring guilt and regret every time.
