Tell Us
Tell us your stories
so that, in the telling, we
may begin to understand
the beauty of your lives
Sing us your songs
so that, in the singing, we
may begin to hear the
beating of your hearts
Read us your poems
so that, in the reading, we
may begin to glimpse the
tenderness of your souls
Show us your art
so that, in the seeing, we
may begin to know the
wonders of your minds
Meet the Bar by writing from a collective point of view
d’Verse Poets – Meeting the Bar — Reverse Poetry
Frank is tending bar and has us beginning at the end by writing a reverse poem.
Here is my short offering
–
Just to Fly Free
–
Watching the Monarchs,
You and I,
Battered and faded,
determined to finish
some plan for life
the hand of nature dealt
Without ever knowing why
If the goal is accomplished
Just to fly free is enough
Sometimes when I’m all alone
When light has surrendered
Darkness blurs the lines
Then fantasy rules the night
When light has surrendered
I quickly take to my bed
Pull the covers over my head
Darkness blurs the lines
Right and wrong are blended
Into imaginary possibilities
Then fantasy rules the night
I peek from my hiding place
Watching as dreams perform
