Joys of Earth
by Joan Jotz (Age: 54)
copyright 10-07-2004


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
The day shimmers
Beneath the sun's gaze;
The beach wears a leopard's coat,
Tawny gold,
Spotted with the black wings
Of resting gulls.

The clouds crack open
Like milkweed pods;
Their opal fluff
Drifts across the sky,
Scattering wispy shadows
Among the dunes.

The wind quivers
Through sea grass lyres;
Its delicate sighs
Bend the air
Into fragile spirals
Along the sand.

Oh, the flamboyant joys of earth!

Joan, This is the first poem I've read of yours. I really like it! I always find the shore a place where the rush of life is somehow put into perspective. You have painted it so well. Greg Kis

Great imagery, like a picture in words. Well done.

Joan, reading your poem in the middle of winter turns ones thoughts into the joys of summer. Wonderful write.

"Its delicate sighs

I am charmed by these words!
With love,
Irina.

This is a poem that must be read aloud. Terrific images in a well crafted style. It has all the elements of a classic.
