A rush of starlings past
a tall birch, dry leaves prattling
to the stark September sky,
a road with filtered light,
a golf ball in an asphalt pot-hole;
a white butterfly, a leash and
this little dog who pulls
me out of myself.
Lyrical Intervention
A rush of starlings past
a tall birch, dry leaves prattling
to the stark September sky,
a road with filtered light,
a golf ball in an asphalt pot-hole;
a white butterfly, a leash and
this little dog who pulls
me out of myself.
Love this poem for its simplicity, meaningful images and, as always, magical word juxtapositions.

Hi Marilyn, Thank you for your kind words!! I wish I could have done more with that ’emerging from cocoon’ idea, but I’m pleased that you felt it ‘worked’/ hung together ok,, as is. :))
