Another Way of Saying

like something holy

I awoke unable to remember
how or why we write poems

or make these line

breaks

alerting us to another way
of reading and

seeing

now I remember

meanwhile
rainwater collecting in buckets
shone like something holy

    I enjoyed the poem and I agree.
    “I remember
    meanwhile the rainwater
    collecting in buckets
    seemed like something holy the poem and I agree.”

      Thank you John – sometimes it’s easy to forget why we do this.

    Old friends never really disappear. They just move to the shadows. It is up to us to draw them back into the light. So here I am, asking you to let me know you are alright and hoping you will please us further with your work.

      Thank you very much for your kind message oldmainer. I’m ok thanks and hope you are too. Unfortunately my work seems to have abandoned me of late. I have been through this before and know you cannot force it. I hope it returns as I am quite lost without it. I take solace and encouragement in your thoughtful words though, which are greatly appreciated.
