I know you are out there. I even read poetry occasionally on otherwise prosaic SI threads. I hope some of you will post your poems here. One caveat, I don't want any disparaging remarks made about any of the poetry posted here. I think comments and helpful suggestions to writers are fine but no harsh criticism please. Feel free to post your opinions of your favorite poets as well, or bits of your favorite poems, etc. Hope to meet some of you gifted and creative people here.

The Apricot Tree
When music had no notes,
only a voice,
and minutes turned no hours,
and days no years,
I sat among high limbs and leaves,
my scraped hands resting on rough bark,
with sticky beads of resin on my palms.
Hair full of twigs and wind and dreams,
a child of the feathered air,
and in the summer I ate apricots. |
