Days Poem by Karle Wilson Baker

Days

Rating: 3.3


Some days my thoughts are just cocoons- all cold, and dull and blind,
They hang from dripping branches in the grey woods of my mind;

And other days they drift and shine - such free and flying things!
I find the gold-dust in my hair, left by their brushing wings.

a nice poem of contrasts? I suppose it depends on which side of the bed you got out of that day?

A vivid contrast of the complexity of thought. Efficiently rendered, yet colorfully articulated.

Thoughts should always be like that- '....in the grey woods of.... mind.... I find the gold-dust in my hair, left by their brushing wings'. Exquisitely crafted poem. Thanks.
