It’s Thursday again and I’m still lazy! For macro Monday this week I posted a photo that I edited. Among the comments I received, Christine at http://dadirridreaming.wordpress.com/ and Sandra at http://sandraconner.wordpress.com/ both said that the photo made them think of waves foaming on a beach. Thank you lovely friends, your comments inspired todays lazy poem. Here is a slightly bluer version of Monday’s photo.
Waves of Foam
Foaming ocean laps the Jurassic shore
where molten lava once seared and pitted
into burnished pockets of chalk
that glow pale in the shallows
where volcanic flame no longer scorches
earth but in its place frozen fluid
turned to stone in the countless millennia
before mankind’s dawn
then lapis and bronze lay down its mineral
to adorn sweet womankind’s questing hands
and feet that step through warm golden sand
above the azure sky reflects light
from the firmament holding the source
of celestial waters in balance
Ooooooh, Gilly, this is beautiful!!!!!!!
Is it? thank you, I really have no idea about poetry!
Love it! And you are too modest Gilly
Poetic of course. I love it
Lovely images, Gilly!
it is beautiful … poetry is letting images and meanings flow just like that …”the azure sky reflects light from the firmament holding the source of celestial waters in balance” … the words carry us away to space, earth, sky, water, … we are all that, we just forget until a poet reminds us!
Oh Gilly,; this is so beautiful with lovely imagery.
Wonderful
Love the poem and the image! So beautifully (and appropriately) put together here … perhaps those are lava trapped air bubbles!
Very poetic.
Most fitting to the photo and lovely to read.
Stirs our hearts so beautifully!
