Today, I would like to present a guest on my blog. Russ Kelly is my third favorite poet, after Walt Whitman and William Butler Yeats, and he has kindly given me permission to share his latest poem with all of you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I.
Water that smokes
Falls of spring
Falls of power
Falls of silk
Falls of Paterson.
Wheels turning
Wheels of power
Wheels of rail
Turning turning
Wheels in time.
Bricks of muscle
Bricks of sweat
Bricks of clay
Bricks to build
Looms of history.
Water to smoke
Falls to wheel
Applause, applause! Very creative, Russ.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed that. More, more!
Debbie, he tried to reply, but for some very strange reason, he is unable to post comments here. I'm going to have to change that.

"Looms of history." The imagery in this poem is splendid! Russ was quite the wordsmith... I look forward to the book of his poems you're putting together, Mary. :-)
