1184

[Art of Catrin Welz-Stein]

Choice of Words

The words have chosen not to lie still 

Frozen in time and history,  

Not to conform to some printers will,  

But instead to frolic and gambol. 

Teasing, cajoling, near a windowsill; 

Like a cat to a bird on the other side,   

When days of rain seem to fulfill,

Dreams of a hunt with no misery

Of the hunter's unsuspecting thrill.

  1. "The words have chosen not to"... Ah, so the words themselves, that is interesting to think it is their intention to be birthed not my choice. Maybe then as a poet I can claim to be the midwife.

  2. 2 words I do adore, gambol and cajoling. I love it when the words choose not to lie still. Good take on the image, Gillena. Apologies for the late response.
