Metamorphosing
by Maralee Gerke
copyright 10-22-2002


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
Sheep in bulky blankets
Of greasy waterproof wool
Wander on slender black legs.
Gnawing their way through
The waterless pastures of autumn.
Puffing out warm breath into
The cold air, clouds as round
As their thickset bodies.
Apples, the last of the season
Shine like puckered garnets on
The highest branches of
Turn of the century trees.
In winter vestments
I swish against the parched
Weeds and grass.
The sun warm on my face,
My feet cold in the shadows.
Tentatively I touch the
Knobby, woolly back of one sheep
And then another.
I dig my fingers into the heavy
Fleece and bring them back
Soft, lanolined, and musky
With the smell of winter sheep.
Ambiance of the season’s metamorphosing.

I think this is a very fine poem. I hope you'll enter it into the monthly contest. I am particularly fond of the line:

"Apples, the last of the season
Shine like puckered garnets on
The highest branches of
Turn of the century trees. "

I like the pace, the images, the spirit of it. Good work.
