55-running

-
Black bird pierces
a steep strip scrawl
lacing through my striding.

Quails weave in
and out,
wob-wobbing,

Tipping chipping quipping
ahead behind above.
A syn-chron-ous city

Hum zum free,
buzz free see,
cricket breezes bees

Yee hee hee,
Harp yelp mark,
Coyotes? Dogs? Pups?

Too far away
Padding, padding
Hard, soft, ticking.

Stillness’s synonyms:
Synchronicity.

  7. Devika,
    your blog is beautiful!
    The mango! I know in other countries we do not have the best version of your favorite fruit. It is a wealth, and only savored when ripe.

    Happy Friday.

    the tag "here" as you asked on Mr. G's comments are done with an 'a href' code. Look it up on google and it'll show you. They're called hyperlinks...just google how to do hyperlinks, and it'll show you how.

  23. Hi, everyone,
    Dianne did a beautiful job reading the full poem Thursday night! It's a wonderful piece, a treat for the ears, and the images....

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thank you Chris, I really had to focus on the images because the words tried to twist on eachother!
    especially black bird pierces a steep strip scrawl, try saying that 3 times out loud ...(actually a good warm up for any orator, try it!)

    ReplyDelete
  25. This is what I call seriously playful. Translation: I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, frig, Dianne, the language in this is so much fun! Frick. Fricken fun! You had me at wob-wobbing and then it just got better and better.
