Sometimes I come across a scene, or moment, and think: that’s a poem. Sometimes though, it feels like there are too many words, or not enough words to express the moment and the moment passes, wordless. Sometimes I’m very lucky and have my camera with me and have the chance to capture the wordless image, a chance to share and express what I see without having to utter a word.
So we’re going to try something different here. I’m posting an image to start a sohbet. I’d like to see what words it evokes in you all. Does it inspire a poem? Is there even a single word you would use to capture what you see? Perhaps together we can create a poem for the wordless, or stimulate a number of poems between us. There is something in particual about this image that captures me, but I don’t want to prejudice the flow so I’ll wait a bit before I pipe in. Who know’s, maybe we’ll all just stare, wordless…
I like how the sun melts the fence where it’s pure light shines.
Okay. I’ll have a go at it:
” ”
How’s that?
Big ball of fire! (Read with as much maniacal glee as you can muster
)
Ok, finally got some words for the wordless:
warm citrine light
penetrates barriers
comforts my heart
Warm glow
Reflecting off the shiny snow
Saying good-bye to the day
I see the light
I see it bright
On a cold Winter day
it brightens my way
On a white horizon
It makes me go on
On a cold Winter day
It takes me away
to a more celestial state
And this is my fate……
