gets the heart thumping
in a flari maravillosa tea party.
Poetic kindred spirits
and politicians manage
to throw out a challenge.
They tell us the way it came
about is what we wanted
all along.
The scrim is covering
a once apron,
a time
when wizardly candidates
were poets
able to gift us and
tie perfect strings
to our hearts.

Kasserole, you missed your calling! I'm going to grin every mile driving home. Check your e-mails when you get a moment, please.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Tag was playing the game in Comments on your earlier post. You poets amaze me.
WV - mantr. What's the mantr with me that I can't be poetic, too?
You continually amaze and amuse ...
ReplyDeleteYou have outdone yourself! How long did it take for you to so seamlessly weave this whole poem together? Brilliant...
ReplyDeleteI bow to the master! Bow, Bow, Bow.
ReplyDeleteObviously your are a member of the poetry (WV)elitteti
Hahaha! I'll bet that was as fun to compose as it was to read.
ReplyDeleteGood going Kass! : j
That was a clever bit of fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of tying strings to or hearts.
ReplyDeleteI think of you as a poet now, Kass, without a doubt.
a very clever compilation!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing the face of Mr. Dave on your post today ... then loved seeing the faces of so many favorite bloggers. Very clever indeed.
ReplyDeletei especially like the line break on:
ReplyDelete"they tell us the way it came"
ok, so not just the line break but the line itself. inspired.
a writer observes and a poet sees what "isn't there". well done, kass!
your poetry is so beautiful.
ReplyDeletei so enjoy it.
do have a lovely weekend. one love.
This is a brilliant exercise! How fun!!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a poem....wonder if I could try that?
ReplyDeletexoxo
You are just way too clever, seriously, what a fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd I enjoyed the Mouse poem very much. In the marvellous tradition of Elisabeth Bishop...
ReplyDeleteYou're so creative: I bet you're the admirable sort that can make dinner for ten with half an onion, three carrots and a bag of rice.
ReplyDeleteThis is really neat Kass! Your commenters are so clever! ;o)
ReplyDeleteNot so sure what all this means, but I like the collaborative idea.
