I Set Out to Write This Poem

I set out to write this poem, the window framing My eyes settle on thin stemmed plants capering Such joy that had to find an expression Goggling I am desperate in delirium  An aftereffect of napping I feel the usual imbalance finding Myself awake, the senses slowly rising That on a sudden feeling of expansion I set out to write this poem So many times, such enchanting Moments with same smells and threads appearing  There is the neighbor’s garden in my vision Playing with the senses like a magician Stunned, unable to capture any feeling I set out to write this poem   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
