LIKE A BLADE OF GRASS

LIKE A BLADE OF GRASS Like a blade of  grass Bursting through a universe Of Iridescent green Stunned by the morning sun Struggling to be Like no other one In a sea of similarity We make our way Prey To our  humanity From earth we come Borrowed  only for a day Blades of grass so green Stunned by the morning sun Catching a dream A moment in infinity Lost And never seen Again

Hi Joe,

this is not only beautifully written but it is also very philosophical. Have you read Ann Harvey´s "Life´s individuality"? I think your poem and hers complement each other (at least in my head, they entwine and support each other)... Yours, ~Nina P.S. l.16 typo "infinity"

Woa this is great Like greeting the morning with a fresh cup

We as children would come out to mothers laundry duties the sqauwk of the wheel so far above bawling like a bear cub up the long hill the trimmed lawn in the shadow of the fine green tamarack trees we would run up there to listen to it as she put up the white sheets the work shirts our clothes then run down to sit on the little back porch no roof just some concrete tiles on railroad ties at the back door the hot morning sun just starting to come and find us "stunned by the morning sun" yes even then finding in nature a splendour unequalled the clouds the sky so deep this is a great poem my freind it has exhaulted such good memories

J.B. Longo-Geremia Thank you, my friend. But I am so taken by your descriptive language. You NEED to start writing short s tories as well as your wonderful poetry. You have an extraordinary gift! Joe "The hot morning sun just started to come and find us." Great!!!!
