Dawn To Dusk Poem by Ben Gieske
Dawn To Dusk
planet earth
hurling into the universe
magazines of starry galaxies
the sun
striking its blush
across the dawning sky
daybreak
the finch’s song
morning glory
first spring breeze
the swing in the tree
feeling a tug
the river
its stories serial
pools of final mysteries
river’s cliff
calm waters
edging intrigue
shadows of dusk
a mockingbird mimics
Debussy’s l’après-midi
solo flight into the azure
a cumulus cloud of quietude
shimmering stars full of song
gods in eternity
nothing more to say

It's an open and shut book - er no, it's a high quality impressionist poem from start to finish with musical accompaniment and superb illustrations. This was a very refined multi-media experience Ben! Open enough and moving at just the right tempo to give us time to look around, think it through and revel in its riches and the richness of its sparsity. Master craftsman at work! jim PS. No, I've not encountered that Argentinian poet you mentioned, but will look him up. I've little experience of South American writers it seems - GGMarquez (OHYOS -brilliant) and Neruda (very slightly) is about it which seems seriously deficient. I've read a huge amount, but mainly European and US stuff. Damn! Wasn't aware. (Walcott - almost qualifies) ? Got me thinking. Ouch.
