Notes About The Poem

What Poetry Is

In time
                   silent ripples
             wave
        more quiet 
    than sound
  less melodic than water
 wash ashore, arrange
  green garments in motion
     rock in trance 
         spoken sound 
             colours circles 
                interlinks spirals
                 reaches
                touches
             fingers on keyboard
                   grows larger
      evolves                      into lines
      expands                     meaning
                     sentences
             arranged into images
              for your eager mind

Chris Green July 3, 2017 at 6:13 AM Such a cool poem that defines poetry in shapes and phrases which is what most of us hope to accomplish when we write. This was really nice my friend. Darren White July 3, 2017 at 6:16 AM Thank you my friend :) That is how I always hope my poetry will reach me, but sometimes it's more like a beautiful struggle.
