What Are You?





for WWP Prompt

You
Are the word
That lights the flame
That vexes thought
That searches long
Its sea for song
In perfect harmony; its rush
Amalgamating with ink-touch
To spell the thought
That lights the flame
Beneath a word
In oceans stirred
To form
Its per-
Fect
Poem

    Janet I like this. I love the how you use the sea. "To spell the thought That lights the flame" really sums it up for me.

    interesting poem Janet. the beginning, the end were some sort of mirrored image - attractively done, and with just enough tension (difference) to make thoughts wander/wonder (good for a poem to do).
    thanks for participating! neil
