1002

Painting by Anatol Woolf from bing.com

MOSAIC

As day progress to clear evening

Our skies, yielding grief 

Love can be the healing balm


I suppose on a sunny day

When i take out the garbage in the night

The bay tree let go of her scent.


Wind at the window pane 

What shall i cook for you my dear?

That’s the best i can do now


Wanting to get a good shampoo

To read is to travel through pages

Now however is the time

For this first MTB prompt of 2023 we’re composing a ‘Found’ poem.

I used the first lines from poems at the following posts

    A fitting title for this kind of found poem, Gillena, and some lovely line combinations. I especially enjoyed:
    'When i take out the garbage in the night
    The bay tree let go of her scent.'

    Gillena, these totally make sense together. I have to believe you, like Kim, are tuned into the timelessness of the cosmos.
