Poetic Aside Prompt: Second Thoughts
http://blog.writersdigest.com/poeticasides/2011/04/21/2011AprilPADChallengeDay21.aspx
Second Thoughts
The wind whistles through
The trees
I bend to pick up sticks
A ritual
A dance
A game
Setting my mind free
Untethered
A kite in the wind
Hard to tell
No words to say
New thoughts
Second thoughts
Or... just love
The lucky poet
Carefully places each moment
Upon the window sill
Arranges them by size
And color
Image appears
Like the completion
Of a puzzle
New thoughts
Second thoughts
Or... just love
The book falls open
Reading between the lines
The world is brighter
Exploring distant shores
As in a dream
Hard to tell
No words to say
New thoughts
Second thoughts
Or...just love

Wow this is BEAUTIFUL. Love the repeated lines. And the Van Gogh tree. What a feast in here this morning!
Sherry echo! Wonderful play with the echo lines, but beautiful message buried in those sticks on the windowsill. Love the image. All so well put together Annell. Happy for you,

"place each moment upon the window sill" - I can feel that ...to be seen in the light -love the image of that...a wonderful way to start my morning and a beautiful day....bkm
Annell, echoing everyone else on your echoes! This is a delicately sweet poem that speaks to the essence of why we write. Publishable. Go for it, and you don't need the graphic with, just your words. SUBMIT. (Resistance is futile, LOL)

Peaceful, solid, echoic work. Good stuff.
I love this. Life is art. These lines are my favorites:

"Carefully places each moment
