Black Lines Matter Poem for the day

The cat had tired of sport and yawned a cavernous ancestral sabre yawn, his moonlit eyes emeralds, borrowed from the Sun. And on the marble rolled, in straight lines around the curving sky.

 

 REJ:-  I'm sure it did, Idris, but do the pome...

 

The Wordsmith strikes the Anvil molten hot

And hammers words to be or to be not

As meteor writes sparks across the sky

Or lonely Comet past Creation shot


In dark below the blackened bellows heaving

As if a wordly loom life's sentence weaving

The furnace fires the figures from the clay

And animated words made flesh and breathing


Or up above as in a Summer's play

They flutter by the garden of the day

The Huntsman pins the beauty on the flower

And Mercy bids the others fly away


The forge, the furnace fire the light divine

The Anvil and the Garden earthly thine

And now and then the flickbook stills the page

And here the written diamonds from the mine.

 

REJ:- Da iawn Idris. You can't work out how to get rid of the new double spacing can you?


Idris:- I can only delete my self.
