It’s been sometime since I have posted a poem. Here is a personal take-off on a diamente poem. It is inspired by my research and interviews for Half-Truths and the rock colors I saw on a car trip through Tennessee and Kentucky.
Black
Onyx, deep and glistening. No shadow
of rich brown granite or weathered shale.
But layers of bronze clay and ashy strips of gray
fading to cream colored rock. Sandy pebbles glisten
White
This is a very nice poem, Carol. I'll bet it's a great diversion, too, from the nitty-gritty novel revisions.
Thanks, LInda. Yes-it is a good diversion! I actually wrote it several months ago and have been saving it for a busy week when I haven't had time to blog. It was nice to pull out today, reread it, and still like it!
I like this poem, Carol, and I'll bet it was a nice diversion from the nitty-gritty stuff of novel revisions!
Lovely. I enjoy the diamente form for its simplicity and beauty.
Lovely poem, Carol. It sparkles!JEan
