Birth of a poem

sorenbarrett

The smell of pain, taste of a sunbeam
color of rain, sound of a dream
echoes of rhyme cut shards of time
Can you touch a bell's chime?
When a yolk becomes the sun
infinity to zero power becomes one

Poetry's power senses no fences
Born from mind's womb, words lost in menses
bloody deliverance of Egyptian ren
Drops fall from a bleeding pen
Conceived to nurse on the nipples of thought
Here's a poem begot

    The smell of pain, taste of a sunbeam
    color of rain, sound of a dream
    echoes of rhyme cut shards of time
    Can you touch a bell's chime?
    When a yolk becomes the sun
    infinity to zero power becomes one

    How very inspiring dear sorrenbarret
    A poem can be born from anything, from dirty socks to a dentist and a love gone wrong or a death of a song.

    Superbly crafter dear friend. 🌹

                      • Dan Williams

                        Just love this. Most often I am inspired by a simple phrase or even one word. "Born from mind's womb, words lost in menses" sums that up nicely. Fine work.
