A thousand

sorenbarrett

Poems written to discover me, some dark some in transparency
Flowers opening attract the bee, others aborted fell from the tree
A thousand blossoms grew and fell, each casting their own spell
Ask as I might from this wishing well, none their secret would tell
Taking them in single file, sweeping them into a pile
Petals of letters I did compile, from a colorful perianth sprouted a smile

    Oohh, well done SB, and good write here again! As in a recent poem of mine, a 'thousand' in Biblical times could mean 1,000, or one troop of however many men. So for 'a thousand thousand', it may mean one million, or one thousand troops of however many men. Here ends maths lesson. lol.

      Thanks so much Orchi to post a thousand thousand may take a while. About four thousand years at current rate maybe a bit less. Appreciate the read and comment my friend.

      • orchidee

        Maybe you've written even more, if you're millions of years old as Goldfinch and I are - so we say! lol.

        • sorenbarrett

          I was lazy back in those days, didn't write much I think there was a heavenly injunction against poetry in those days it was considered subversive due to the devil's tongue being good at verse.

          • orchidee

            Ahh, I see. lol.

          • Teddy.15

            I see nothing but pure inspiration in here metaphorically and by the way, your poems are forever inspiring dearest sorrenbarret 🌹

            • sorenbarrett

              Thanks so much Teddy so nice to see you back again and I appreciate your kind words of comment

            • Paul Bell

              I say, onto the next thousand because everyday the scene changes and the poet loves change to draw his pictures in words.
              Keep going.

              • sorenbarrett

                Thanks so much Paul I appreciate the read and comment of encouragement. Yes I don't see myself stopping until the brain or heart gives out

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Soren, this one feels gentle and reflective the whole way through… like watching memory fall in petals around you. It lands soft and sure. Love it, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                    I love these flowers of evil that poison you lovingly...

                    • sorenbarrett

                      Thanks Lorenz yes I would much rather be poisoned lovingly than loved brutally

                    • Thomas W Case

                        Thanks so much Thomas the number of poems is nothing in comparison to our friends Ochidee and Gold Finch that have three times that number
