…canvas, without paint
Old without young
… fun, without laughter
Yellow without blue
… grass, without green
Arrow without a bow
… land, without the sea
Leaves without branches
… trees, without roots
A desk without a writer,
A page without a thought.
Is a dream - without.

My poem entry for One Shoot Sunday, at One Stop Poetry
Wonderfully expressed dynamics, in terms of how much of nature and aspects of life seem to derive perceived quality and uniqueness through "relative" aspects. Also cool how your poem begins as an acrostic and then diverges from the form.

ReplyDeletePowerful contrasts, stark images of 'without'... ultimately a:
ReplyDeleteA desk without a writer,
A page without a thought.
Is a dream - without.
