Afternoon On The Porch Poem by Carolynn Shaw

Afternoon On The Porch

Rating: 5.0


Spring breeze shakes lose
ash seeds. I spiral into
their dance of disconnection.

Sheets hung on narrow line
billow in the wind. A white
cloth waves from the pine,

like a flag of surrender.
I think of you, Judah - a
pale presence behind me.

Your eyes like river beds,
filled with secrets. With
the coming and going of shadows.

Hi Carol, good to see you writing and posting again. I especially like the first stanza and the disconnection-. Tight cohesive writing, imprinted with your style.

A gentle but imagey and sensuous piece.
