Down A Lane, Into A Grove Poem by Denis Mair

The quiet excitation of colors is juicy and tremulous...

all the shapes are jostling to be part of the scene...

their patchwork assortment is a neighborhood happening...

in the time-frame of strolling into a grove, it is monumental...

details set each other off as the composition unrolls...

they hang together, but also crumble… even so,

I can join in the onward tumble, without a sense of precarity

relinquishing colors and shapes that fit so well together...

being confident that wonderment awaits around the corner.
