Cataract Poem by Tom Billsborough

Cataract

Rating: 5.0


Waterfalls of words.
Cascading down
From reservoirs of being.
Sometimes I am seeing
Ghosts of songs,
Arising from the cloudy plumes
Of spray forced up
From the pure depths of our Niagaras.

I was trying to describe the way I write. It does tend to come out in a torrent. Then I'm left wondering where it all came from! Some poems I do plan but this is quite rare and usually based on a line I have read in French or Spanish, usually taking up the poet's thought and comparing it to mine.
