Not everything I write
gleams as literary gold
from king midas tongue
most days I trudge
a tenderfoot packmule
with word burdens
up rocky bluffs
of aesthetic merit
once in a shrewd moon
my patient hooves lead
to a sagacity stream
skyline of ancient poets
auric epiphany dawn.
...
Up the rocky mountain on a free verse trail to where sagacity beckons in an epiphanous dawn. I liked it a lot...and for the record feel the same way! Well done. Gay
ReplyDeleteha. you know...a pack mule may be better than some literary types i know...and to see dawn break into a million glittering pieces...now that is gold enough for me...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI love "...once in a shrewd moon..." and bonus points for 'auric' Well-conceived and well-expressed, that journey up the heights to an ever unknowable destination.
