Poems hide
in the corners of clouds,
in the wisp of a dream,
under the bed in tubs
of old photographs.
Poems hide
in birdsong at daybreak,
in thick moss on old trees,
in a basket of fruit and the smile
of the one who receives it.
Poems hide
in laughing doggy eyes,
in a baby's smile,
in the stories of an old man
sitting on a bench,
as the world rushes by.
Poems hide
in the rush of a river in autumn,
in the red and orange leaves,
in the moment when the sky clears
after rain, and the world turns
green and blue again.
Poems hide.
Inspired by Wild Writing and the two words "Poems Hide".
I love this. Makes me realize there are poems everywhere. I just have to find them. They play hide and seek with me.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Sherry. I think both of us have poems which are hiding within us. I really am glad you are writing, bringing to the surface thoughts which were hidden. Even if only for you.
