Sparks!
Some poems are "frictional," and give off sparks. These sparks can ignite something in you. Let them in. Always remember to speak the poem aloud so your ears can participate. The words enter the ear's vestibule and yes you see Vesta in the naming, none other than the hearth goddess. She keeps the fire going, the fire that must never go out, ignis inextinctus. Sparks, indeed!
A new member of the blog, Daniel Blake, offers these sparks.
Under the mound of my belly, the occidental is ended
God awful Sun-days
Going all sideways,
Gone asunder suddenly;
Gasping after salaries.
Gary asked somebody
Going around sounding,
Garbling about summertime
"Got any spareĀ
gillyform-aero-space-suits
going?" And so
Gary and Saz,
Giggling about stardust,
Got away swiftly
Gaia's almost shifted
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!
Bear only yesterday scattered
Beady Owl's yarrow stalks...
Bundling, orating, yelling skyward,
Bear overwatches your secret
Beehive. Ominous, you say?
But only your splitsideĀ
Boxed off your shine.
Bring out your seafaring,
Bellybusting overalls, young soldiers.
Look up, nighttime arrives.
