We Write Poems 123:Like Moonglades

http://wewritepoems.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/prompt-123-its-post-your-poems-day/

Like Moonglades
There are no scraps of unfinished songs, jotted notes in journals.
I have wholes
sometimes more
sometimes less
verse on the page
haiku, Elfje, prose
There are just completes, simple or complex, by my hand formed.
Enough perfume
from the ever
changing rose -
stems, petals, hips
leaves, even thorns
all those parts
no left-overs.
~There are only ‘wholes’ to fall gently into or out of at your leisure.~
The pieces fit
it is just the way
I operate -
I sink or swim
exclusively, mostly
on a single page
to be shaped
and folded into
one floating boat
origami patterns~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~made by letters on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~a blank or lined~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~page, wholes.~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...Like moonglades.

    I like the way you arranged the verses on the page - it reminds me of separate scraps of paper coming together to form a lovely whole. Great job!

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
