An Unfinished Sky

an unfinished sky

 

 

stoic branches

voyeuristically embellish

an unfinished sky,

illustrating

a still life impression

of wordless poetry,

void of allegory

and rhyme.

Poetry is part of the beauty that is everywhere... Beautifully reflected here. So simply and elegantly stated...I was once a wood sculptor...wood and poetry are a part of my soul...

I would love to see some of your pieces. My brother used to love sculpting from wood. I admire a man who can work with his hands and create something beautiful. It's quite a gift.

The photograph is such a nice touch and it's beautiful.
I love the quiet, meditative quality of this poem. The “stoic branches” against an “unfinished sky” create such a vivid, contemplative image, and I appreciate how you embrace minimalism..showing that poetry doesn’t need allegory or rhyme to evoke feeling. There’s a stillness and clarity here that makes the scene linger in the mind, a perfect example of how observation alone can be poetic.

Thank you, Roma. I walk every day, mostly taking pictures of nature, and getting to know dog-walkers...and their dogs. It affords me a lot of time to reflect upon my life and gain some inspiration for writing. Life is good! Thanks, again!

wordless poetry void of rhyme.....

Stunning Kelly - somewhere I hear Rooks and Crows calling in the margins of this Excellent piece. The Autumn Winds can be bitter indeed. Fabulous ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I took this photo back in early January, and sad to say, the tree no longer stands. What a majestic giant it was, profiling the sky. I miss its presence each time I walk past the void where it used to be. I feel lucky to have captured it in both art and poetry. Thank you, Tony!

really intriguing piece of work - although not written as separate stanza the relationship between the first four and last four lines and the inclusion of "no allegory & no thyme" is lovely paradoxical, like a verbal mobius strip - enjoyed this very much - carl

[Kelly Scheppers]

Having your presence here is everything, Carl. Thank you!

[carl]

I gravitate to the brevity of words these days. It suits me, I think. Feels nurturing to the soul. Thank you, Betty!

[Betty Hermelee]

Indeed it does...hope you are well and happy!
Always a pleasure Kelly
