lore-keeping

arqios

 

stars unravel
stitched upon
coronal leaves

silky riddles
unspin cocoons
'mid thund'ry breeze

on in cradled stardust
bottled moonbeams
ride solar flairs

ink of paradox
unbind unspoken tales
coil springless clocks

    The images merit pondering in this poem. With rhyme as well it spins its tale. Real and fanciful the images pull at ones mind the caterpillar and butterfly of the second stanza and the last stanza of the sun as a springless clock seen in its coils. Very nice in its subtlety a fave

      There are spirals and unwinding going on everywhere. A great exploration poem.I like your use of adjectives.I can't get enough of them.Well done

      • arqios

        So glad there is room for adjectives here, in some ‘schools’ of poetry it’s been classed as a no-no🙏🏻🕊️
