WITH A CUP OF TEA
This poem is a novella
This poem is fiction
This poem is an umbrella
Let me say upfront, this will be short.
Sweet is relative to the reader's tongue.
Didn't get it, read and read again.
This poem is a novella.
Sometimes when i climb Mount Everest,
And look over vast expanse of syllables,
The longing for chapters gallops in.
This poem is fiction.
Being unprepared for the rain,
Is no excuse; thunder rumbles,
God has even fashioned clouds.
This poem is an umbrella.
This poem wishes to speak prose,
Longs to tell a sweet little story,
And chants - settle in with a cup of tea.

This poem is a delight to read.......I love boomerang poems, and love the chants and settling in with a cup of tea.

Yum! The entire vilanelle-ish experience is wonderful. i wish I had written this. This line centers all the rest for me "Sweet is relative to the reader's tongue." AS in short and sweet. And tongue= words, too. Wow, Gillena!

I felt like I was sitting with you, drinking a cup of tea, and listening to your voice, Gillena. Your boomerang poem is rhythmic and upbeat, and I love the image of a poem as an umbrella and the lines:
ReplyDelete‘Sometimes when i climb Mount Everest,
And look over vast expanse of syllables,
The longing for chapters gallops in.’

I have to be honest: I have never (until today) met a poem that wishes to speak in prose.
