big tent poetry: prompt this week is a two-step process. a little of this a little of that. something abt (1) first focus on this one gesture and then (2) write abt something completely different yet affected by step one you write… sounds fun to me… instantly brought to mind the keys, ie, piano… a sacred spot.. ; wandered over to the wonderful haiku blog one single impression: this week, pensive; found this beautiful foto which completely caught the musicality all wrapped in one expression…. photo: Chiama piano, by iskra_m, flickr
extending the fingers the thumb placed perfectly
a slight bend floating fingertips
a resting sigh untangle
two flat feet untroubled eyes responds the heart
heaving with weight the notes chatter endlessly
shifting towards expression the ear listens quiet
a sensible sound calls attention a backward echo
alone, begins the clutter of a song
gushing to the surface
i just wanted you to notice me
to turn your eyes in favor
you and i alone
a waiting wandering kiss
in the middle of
this and that
stirring nonchalantly
Subtle, tender, and beautiful. Thanks.
Love how that fourth stanza reveals the deeper meaning of the poem.
“a waiting wandering kiss”
a very lovely piece.
“i just wanted you to notice me
to turn your eyes in favor
you and i alone
a waiting wandering kiss”
Wonderful lines, “Mrs. Pie.” (I’ve never called you that before!) Reading it, I couldn’t help but feel a need here.
I would turn my eyes if I know which way. 🙂

Oh yes, thank you for the travel wishes. I normally wouldn’t be blogging but it is raining in Quebec City tonight so we stayed in and I really needed to answer comments. 🙂
