[hometext] => Not sure what to say about this poem - it's just how I was feeling at the time.
[bodytext] =>  What colour was your sky tonight? Mine was so dark and dangerous, so massive So beautiful and so powerfully grey Then there was a whisper of slate That trailed into the mountains beyond. Did you see the pools of cherry coloured lights Formed by the reflection of the chasing cars As they scurried over the slickened, rain drenched streets. Could you smell the reek of exhaust fumes Low laying, near the road with the acrid stink of rubber. Were you watching the mother strapping her frenzied child Into his car seat. I watched her rub her lower back as she Dashed around the side of the car. Watched her wait for the Bus to pass by before she struggled with the lock at the driver’s door, Turning her back as she climbed to her seat, on me and the world. I looked up tonight and felt the rush of chilled air Dancing above the grimed streets and the racing cars. I felt it swirl it’s breath so icy that I thought it might leave It’s message in fine crystal patterns across my cheek Like a delicate exotic lace. I breathed deeply from that air And extracted every particle of purity. I let it rush my lungs with it’s freshness And I was invigorated by it’s sweetness – Standing on the street with my head flung back. Did you taste the excitement tonight? Did you feel the newness that was promised Everywhere – did you feel the tremors Traveling the length of your body up From your rooted feet - up to your whipping electric hair?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
