Worlds Worth
I float in the Tannis, thy hand reaches back
posed ceramic dance, fragile figurine-poise
spin and spin pas de deux
say allegro say pour vous
strike death abrosia
bite the apple through
tacenda toujours, soft and lush best in black
Mandalay, raze be thine no holy left unspoiled
no toll denied, red the blood of time cache in crystal
pour my vein endless, splay as portents
wide eyes meditate, beam shadowless corner
when hath tokens rolled so genuine
rye to rim etch to en
a lace to drawn curtains
O Archipelago, strewn chain of many sands
wake from sleep this oceans border
let waves vow curl your ringlet
pause to breast, flush with confidence
colour combs swept across tepid beach
reverent floods, sopp the green blades
soak sweet Alyssum and one empty chair

Such a great quote!!! Despite the heavy-handed symbolism...I hope it made sense. I just wanted something different from my sparse Writes. Appreciate You John!!!

I loved the empty chair ...
it symbolizes something great,
and unforeseen perhaps
the eye to the great big world ...
however the metaphor

Thank You Dear Queen!!! Humbled by Your kindness, I had hoped it wasn't a bit too stretched ...or rather confusing the subject of the Write.

(Sigh)...In the spirit of Wordsworth---an entire "world(')s worth" of a vividly lovely, poetic journey!
This reads as if you were channeling the Romantic poets themselves.....with your expression of intense emotional experiences... as tempered by feelings recollected in a moment of serenity.
This offers your readers' minds, so many opportunities, to simply wander through, and appreciate the mysteries of the narrator's imagination.
An outstanding scribe, my Friend!

Thank You DE!!! I'm glad You found it peaceful, it truly was at the moment of Writing it. Nodding to Wordsworth I probably should've wrote it more to his style...it was just a quick/wit title that came to mind afterwards lol

well....you already know how i feel about this poem ;)
There are certainly great deal of gems in here, singularly like [let waves vow curl your ringlet] so beautiful that i wish i had thought of lines like that, as whole its great the visual and sounds flowing seamless but its one of those abstract works of art that its best to look at it as a whole rather than take the lines apart to find some hidden meaning.

Thank You for telling me Your fave line ;) Indeed You are right...details are nice-but it is the whole picture that matters!!!

It's been so many years since I've read any Wordsworth so I can't spot any stylistic or content similarities. I do know that this works beautifully on its own. It's more than worth repeated reads, so into the list it goes..

Hey Crow!!! Really humbled by the RL Sir!!! It hasn't anything pf Wordsworth influence or inspiration-Simply Title :)
