Origin Of The Flame...2* Poem by elysabeth faslund

Origin Of The Flame...2*

Rating: 5.0


Trailing words behind, as dust motes airborne...
Tantalizing sun rays flame them to life...
Coalescing, accreting awesome worlds...
Stable, tectonic poetry uncurls

Into subduction smoothness. Building lines
Increasingly upwards, new mountainous
Heights of meaning. But, the fault line below
Shifts words, images. Molten lava flows

From crevices of a poem. Explosions
Funnel shattered words skyward. Particles
Expanding, cooling, creating new lines,
New mountainous heights of meaning. This time

Immortal phrases gently rain to Earth,
Building oceans for unborn writers' births.

This time Immortal phrases gently rain to Earth, Building oceans for unborn writers' births. I like this ending. Reminds me of 4th of July fireworks.

Such bold metaphors to describe your poetic craft - draconian, teutonic, wondrous. It would seem that you have unleashed all the pent up fertility from within you and let it explode into words. Superb. love, Allie xxxxxxxx
