pop the umbrella dreams
let the wild come
where swift the sound
of clanging bells
calling to order the
attendance of stars matured
the gentle wind of
kismet blows across the
face of yet manifest
clothed in aspiration
unfettered falling providence
blooming blue skies
the warmth of sun arrives
endorsed by dawn’s emerging roar
come here close to me
read out loud the whispers
the pages fat and overflow
the days all bunched in one
flaming clairvoyance converses
the actor’s part performed
riveting representation
in singular order
waiting for applause
*in posse.latin possible; have potential to exist. i was looking through a book of words and found this in the process, does it fit? i think so. hope you think so too.
You have a gift for the sound of poetry. It just flows.
The line “calling to order the/ attendance of stars matured” as well as the second last stanza really made me think. Well done.
Your poem unfolds with its first line: “pop the umbrella dreams” I think in posse as a title is perfect. My favorite part of the poem is the final strophe—the performance completed and the anticipation of the end, of what comes next, of what is possible at that point, really works.
This is beautifully written! The rhythm is wonderful and the images you pick are so precise! I particularly like the second stanza! Nice work!
The title is definitely appropriate, but I found the lines more inspirational than scary. The language stirs with anticipation.
The poem flows smoothly, it was a pleasure reading it
Great rhythm! I like “the umbrella dreams”. It sounds like a dreamy atmosphere.
Beautiful poem – and the photograph; the image and words work so well together.
