Tortoise Shell Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Tortoise shelled memories, coming into view slowly, so
I can get the full effects of every detail, emotional,
physical and mental.

Observant intellect, putting it all onto photographic
screens so I can see and write from them.

Beautiful colorful rainbows, taking me through prisms
of illumination and into depths of canyons, echoing
rhythms and translating them into words of poetry.

Liberating senses and freeing intellect to mingle with
imagination, carefully giving all impressions and
experiences a voice in timeless prose.
