The Well of Grief ~ Poetry Thursday

April 26, 2007

Those who will not slip beneath
the still surface on the well of grief

turning downward through its black water
to the place we cannot breathe

will never know the source from which we drink,
the secret water, cold and clear,

nor find in the darkness glimmering
the small round coins
thrown by those who wished for something else.

Poetry Thursday is off and running today with a BRILLIANT Writing Game. Each participant is allowed to enter one line to a group poem. Go see.

The well of grief, dew on a tulip, nature's tears.

how do you get those extraordinary shots! And the stamen just suspended in air! Please, it is magic, you are a magician with that camera.
