One Single Impression: (movement) Summer's Breeze

Summer’s breeze
Curtains billow
Toes wiggle
Minds wander
Bodies meld
Souls cleave
Curtains billow
Summer’s breeze

Love the circular nature of this poem. It makes it impossible to pause and stop the movement.

I sure do like that very beautiful movement.

The word "breeze" is full of easy summer peace. Thanks for reminding me!

Great stuff, Laurie.

i like the ordering of your words and the way this flows

i like the cleave is a self-contradicting word:

stick together
cut apart

Intriguing! With my penchant for writing dream poetry, I read this as being about an ultimately sad dream on a summer's evening...taking "cleave" in it's "cut apart" meaning. When I read it in it's "stick together" meaning I read the poem to be about a very sensual experience. I really enjoy ambiguity. :-)

ahhhh!
that lovely feeling of timelessness, motionlessness!

They don't last that long, though...but wonderful to remember.

Thanks, Laurie!
