The Earth And Earth Poem by Leslie Philibert

The Earth And Earth

Rating: 5.0


Working the wet earth,
bonded by standing water, as expected
I do not find ghosts,
but a layer of small stones and black roots.

A cracked pathway. Cats still.

My neighbour thrashes in the bushes,
looking for a son called Son.
The afternoon has stopped itself.
A window open. Curtains open. Music.

Why is Vivaldi so inhuman?

Earth things that connect us with earth thoughts and these lines have a poetic variety of them laid out in vivid images.

'The earth bonded by standing water'-a beautiful image! And also two images in the last lines.Then the humorous lines come two times. you make the readers lightly to read and smile Mr. Philibert. Why Vivaldi.....? Vivaldi is the name of garments in Chennai. Rated *****
