Day 28: Poetry

Today's prompt is to write a meta-poem i.e. a poem about poetry. I've done this lots of times before, so this is just a random, spontaneous outburst for now. 



Poetry

Poetry is a salve

a honeycomb hive

hi-jinks jester

quicksilver tongue

a field full of wildflowers

bookmarked memories

trapeze of thoughts

mish-mash of unending 'seem'

a fishing reel into the deep

cartography of the heart

dreaming with the light on

the quiddity

of everything

alchemy

inventory of living

power and shine

and keeping extravagantly alive.
