I’ve seen
a rain in the still of morning drop
these lengthened tight lines before.
Yet, after planting ten Sempervirens
weather intrigues. Did not like when
the painters trick cut thick pigment.
Wood wand end of ragged brush
quickly dragged through smokey
wet new varnish over stiffend oil,
it never appealed to my virgin eye.
Oh! this mornings lanky soaking rain
over what perfect real world portrait
of our soft woods should then allow,
we see a painters deft hand applied
for that first time.

WHOA COLEMAN! This is unbroken, an ace student walking the rice paper in dojo. Fuck!
Thank you !

Lol……actually it was a nice reaction
Lol.
I used the same language many times in the last two days.
Sheesh…..” herding butterflies “
Oh. That was supposed to be to manny. Thanks Dustin. Rounding off the edges of this monster was nowhere near as mellow as it feels ….it took two days with lots of treats to get this guy to sit down …..lol….thanks :-).
Sorry for the language kiddps
Sorry for Siri kids
People often talk about “voice” in poetry. How hard it can be to capture, how important it is etc. You have a very unique voice. I think it would be very hard to imitate. Just a long way of saying I like this and it shows your voice.
Thank you Linda.
It’s so much fun to do this for a month.
Lol…..a month.
It never appealed to my virgin eye — such a line! This is marvelous, as Linda says, the voice is terrific.
Thanks Bill. That line surprised me.
an American sonnet
of the best kind
this poem poem woke me up
with its mixed art
Yes!!!! Nice catch. Me happy 🙂
I think on the rewrite the 12th line needs a semicolon to make it stand out more.
Love this!
Thank you 🙂
I adore this, you sneaky great poet. What are we all going to do when you win the Nobel Prize and start hanging out with Dylan?
