This Poem's Kiss
Tonight, I start another poem that will not be finished. Yes, there will be somethingâ€” a knock on the door, a teakettle whistleâ€” it will catch my attention and I will put down the pencil, rough lines left hanging, words making only half sense. Then the phone will ring, or Iâ€™ll decide to take a shower. These thin sheets of paper will flutter softly, touched by sunset and a breeze from the open window. Honey colored shadows will creep across the floor, the deepness of night swallowing table, desk, and chair. Tomorrow I might find this half-poem sitting here alone, and think it ugly. Or I will touch it and it will stir, alive again, breath whispering words I havenâ€™t yet thought, scolding for my negligence, forgiving, with a kiss.

I sure can relate to the unfinished poem........but it is my unfinished song, project, letter......and I am glad you finished this poem.
Also, what a lot of work you put into this blogsite......I am
once again impressed. Gives me, who rarely sees you, a glimpse into your life and times. Thanks.
