This is a rewrite of a previous poem - does it read like a poem? Is the image clear? |
| Awakening A slither of silvery light swathes the surface of a darkened grey lake. A mirror to the world above, a craggy stack submerged in the black. From out of the blue comes a waking wind. Scores of crisp like tears spiral downwards before resting atop their shadowy likeness. For a moment, a dismal symmetry exists. Then a fat carp rises. Gulps. Sinks… Swallowing the tears in the wake of its dive. |
