careful how you move
the crows have already disturbed the stillness of the bush
the spider subtly holds you back in its web
the salty tears from your eyes stain your mouth
you want the sky without
the moon and the stars
THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "The Dead Are Beautiful Tonight" by Luther Hughes: stain, stillness, subtle, sky, crows, bush, back, careful, web, salt, mouth, eyes
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!

Great use of a word list.
ReplyDeleteReally! Unbelievable how you magically made a poem with all those words! A fine poem.
ReplyDeleteLesson, keep your mouth shut when you cry tears.
ReplyDeleteMine is a silent sob, not tears (anymore).
..
Really lovely mood you've set up with those words.
ReplyDeleteI imagine an escape in the darkness of night.
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't told us this was inspired by a word list, I would've never known. The lines are so smooth.. And the ending is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite an achievement to write this and have readers be blinded to the fact that there was a word list.
ReplyDeleteThank you
