An envelope poem

May 16, 2021 ~ sensualism

In the corner of an envelope

Pinned tight against the wall

Minuscule but mighty

Two inches captures and enthrals

Reading like a scrap of scholarship

Like an enigma rising

Striving for its own simplicity

A like mind left surmising

A fragment borne of intellect

A fleeting moment thwarted

Crossed out – re-entered – rhythmic sense –

The passionate are courted

Amherst beckons – gravestone notes

Her imagery imposing

Finding a forever-spot –

For a little force – exploding

With my head in the sky and my wings in the air, I try to spend my spare time at the footy (AFL in Australia) Go Pies! – and valuable hours with family and friends. Otherwise I’ll have pen in hand and notebook at the ready for those insightful snippets that dream up a poem. I contribute to Cosmofunnel where you’ll find a guided universe of poetry and art.
