Poem Artwork

The Adria Seas
aback in stone sees
what geranium’s Red all along

The Black Sea,  these walls
the
Strait of Gibralter
. . . construe s in the Balkan Blues’ life of, "loss and love"

Collocating with capture
the Mediterranean and a flower. . . 
Apter eonian, Eolian dust, bestows envision from the middle of the earth

Stilled in forever . . .
Mare Nostrum!

This scene lasts, unmeasured
conferred by, with pleasure
undisturbed and unweathered, she speaks

Fro’ that middle white sea,
Calypso Deep
communal remembrances
were reduced to sounds unheard of, until now . . .

Lo,
". . . the sea between the lands"
His Plan will unfold
. . .and so it was told in a picture

Stilled in forever . . . Mare Nostrum!

Beautifully rendered! You are, (and always impress me as so), a one of a kind writer with her own colors and style. This is what it's all about to me in the pursuit of artistic expression ... to develope a unique and singular voice in a seething sea of copy cats.
Blessings and Light Kimmy friend ...
