Water calligraphy
it's not flowers and light
it disappears as soon
as sense arrives
might be a level head
could even be a crazy
wishing to debate
the invisible
I walk past smiling
that there was joy
did any madman ever
write to evaporate
passing readers
see the water see the air
watch the trick
it leaves it stays
the bucket the brush
he moves away
people disperse
he said a little
it disappears as soon
as sense arrives
might be a level head
could even be a crazy
wishing to debate
the invisible
I walk past smiling
that there was joy
did any madman ever
write to evaporate
passing readers
see the water see the air
watch the trick
it leaves it stays
the bucket the brush
he moves away
people disperse
he said a little
lovely , this will make my day!

ReplyDeleteHa.
Deletenames writ on water
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the full stop
I mean I wonder what the punctuation principle here is?
Ha. I have hardly any punctuation principles. But good point. More finality? Closure? Perhaps I should also lose the caps?
DeleteI guess that's how calligraphic water scenes become poems, punctuation free fluidity. Much to cogitate upon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading...now where did that poem go? :)
