Re: [ZESTPoets] Re: Three poems from a few years back...

Jane - do i get a bit of Shelley in ur new(?) poemette-
 
"O West wind
thou breath of Autumn's being
thou from whose unseen presence 
the leaves dead are driven
like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing...."
 
Great poem Jane! but i would rather have the leaves littered on a cobbled windswept pavement. and the leaves have to be yellowing isn't it? and the pavement slightly wet..
remember Eliot?
 
the winter evening settles down
with smells of steaks in passageways
Six o'clock
the burnt out ends of smoky days
and now a gusty shower wraps
the grimy scraps 
of withered leaves about your feet
and newspaper from vacant lots
the showers beat
on broken blinds and chimney pots
 and by the corner of the street
 a lonely cab horse steams and stamps
and then the lighting of the lamps..
regards
Ron
 
 
After the first gales, leaves lie across the grassLike corpses, whispering death in ghostly voices,And the wind keens through the empty branches,Sharpening their edges against the bitter sky,Cutting it into a grey shroud for dead summer. What do you do, that you know about Mondrian?

tears.>:-)no, no not at all, Jane! When brother and sister singthat song together in a dim-lit room in Ghatak's"Cloud Capped Star" (Meghe Dhaka Tara) can one resistthe tears? Just curious, Jane. In your writing process, how doesthe imagery evolve over versions/revisions?I really liked the image of the sharpened branch. Forme, those last three lines were really visuallyevocative, particularly the action of the branches‘cutting up the sky’. I was kind of reminded of Mondrian’s ‘GreyTree’...Particularly the manner in which the mass ofbroken lines carve up the picture plane in multipleways producing arrays of form-counter pairs.
