The Poetry Place

These I have liked...

Wednesday, 23 November 2011 11:34:18

Just a few tweaks. Took out ‘eyeing’ and added an 'and' and an 'or'. Punctuation kept to a minimum; perhaps it doesn’t need any.

 

These I have liked, still do:

Aerial photos of familiar places

 Maps of towns I’ll never see

Water running over rocks

Dew on spiders' webs


Open fires on a dreary night

 Other people’s bookshelves and

 The tick of the kitchen clock

 

The feel of curved carved stone

 The shine of polished wood

A hot shower on a cold day

 The smile of friends at the door

 

 The smell from the hotdog stall

 The expectation of a hearty meal

 The memory of foreign sunset, or

 An early morning view, and you.


PS  ....and added an 'and' and an 'or'...    Try saying that quickly. Has a nice rhythm.
