Poem Artwork

Morning and I
thresh about,
longing
for long warm
rain
to
quilt.
 
Cover us to
our necks
with sun-lotioned
hands
to keep us
from getting cold
 
After shooing   
all the goblins out
for good,
shush for us
to sleep as long
as we  want.  To
dream away sorrow,
anger, and guilt.
 
Showering tears
oddly console.

I love the line "to dream away sorrow, anger guilt." You said a lot just in those few words, let alone with all the others. You can pack more meaning in one word than most of us can put in a whole stanza. Awesome work you produce. Liz

Tantalizing, with palatable head rhyme. Also the first words of each stanza could be the springboard for another thought-process.

A wonderful write my friend. You give the reader much to think about with words of wisdom as I too agree that our tears do actually console us, help to heal, release, and revive us...well done indeed!
Blessings,

The melancholy of these lines tugs at the heart with quiet sadness but the warm humanity that overflows with every line fills the soul with an appreciation for beauty. Thank you Gracious Poet Phyllis Jean Green,

PERFECTION. What more can I say? Stunning imagery ("Long warm rain." "Sunlotioned hands." "Sleep as long as we want.") makes for a very comforting write - indeed. Feel like I've had a massage!! Your words are SOOOO relaxing. =]

My new favorite of yours (and Honey, you have a lot of favorites!).
