A POETIC WALK WITH MARIANNE MOORE
Come read and let my voice
take you along a
syntactical line
Better yet
if well met
listen, make
this a unique
‘as is moment’
‘twixt you & I
Line indentation
underlines the parallels
of my verse
The shape
my syllabic disposition,
the stanza
my unit of sense
in ‘sentence sounds’
surrounds

With Pulitzer Prize he did astound

TRIBUTE
each day a new beginning
a time to start anew
cherish the gifts of the earth
with stewardship lent to you
within the heart of life
we each, must make this choice
fear not your tenderness
listen to that inner voice
beyond bitterness beyond tumult
there lies a better place
world without end
with Him,living face to face

Ekphrasis tribute to and inspired by imagist-F S Flint
musical rhythm of vers libre
in a sequence of concepts
&propositions
recording impressions
clothed in beauty.
instinct over thought
independent of form
cadence lyrical expressed
where emotions
are the driving force
in
harmonic flows
of nuanced length
&breadth

Wallace Stevens 1879-1955
with imagist-poetics once did strive
Enigma in his 'Valley Candle'
helped his poetry to sell well

Filling his verse with metaphor
Vers libre,not metre was the core,
He lit the fuse and walked away-
So little did his talent yield,for
He left his light on Flanders Field
Tribute to T E Hulme 1883-1917 initiator/catalyst of the Imagist form

A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.

Now I can look in the eyes of veterans who served in country, without shame or guilt. Giving some blood to heal unseen wounds of mind and body, can they possibly be mended and rebuilt? These words, like my others, will be read looking in their eyes. So they can feel it’s not a scam, but really my stuff. Doing it in hopes it can touch them somewhere inside, want it to be enough. To overcome the wall now inside, distrust of this country and all us not like them, that put them in harms way, without batting an eye. Going to be tough, without them telling me bye bye.
