Poem

Pale Garment

My anti-aesthetic garment spews out priest
Michael stands in river between olive trees
whose roots draw libido like Daphne's laurels
Apollo wore, in my drifting slumbering
pale Astro Projection where we meet again

Barthwell Farmer Date: 9/22/2025 7:40:00 AM Deep connections to a relationship powerfully unveiled with stimulating imagery, "pale Astro Projection" is my favorite phrase.
Zyrool Gifford Date: 8/31/2025 9:51:00 AM Hello Norma, this is an excellent piece and a great read. Wishing you a wonderful day.
Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu Date: 8/31/2025 3:04:00 AM Interestingly DEEP. A reader would love to read it over and over again! Great.
Randy Freie Date: 8/29/2025 9:44:00 PM Well Norma, I love this poem, but, I'm a little jealous. At my age, the only thing my libido draws are flies!
Debbie Duncan Date: 8/29/2025 8:50:00 PM I like astro-traveling in dreams. nice
Robert Warlov Date: 8/29/2025 5:03:00 PM just received a copy (email) of your "poem" but I see it's 2 years old already. As a fellow poet (of the oppressed American variety), I wanted to welcome you to the realm. American "free speech" (I note in your other commentary response) is a cultural aspiration as much as our perpetual political activity to 'Perfect our Union' is. ~ "Demo-cracy" is a slippery dance floor with no limitations upon which you may offer your perfect joyful dance but please take-care to stay off other people's toes.
Beata Agustin Date: 9/19/2023 7:31:00 AM Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
