WordCandy Wednesday: The Particular Wheel
Photo by Sonia Joie.
I'm enjoying using these wordcandies as poetry prompts. Good language invites more language, yes? A poem then...
It may take months
to find
the way the wheel speaks
itself in circles,
to understand
the particular language—
a whirring, a come-again
before we're through
it may take months to turn
the silent road to you.

Love your poem, and it's reminding me of another wordcandy .... It (writing) takes time.
Lovely poem! Thanks for the great post & for hosting, & God bless!

We hunt for the particular
language worthy enough
to put in our mouths
to try out. How we move
our tongues against teeth
before we open our lips
may take months
to perfect.
We go for a certain feel,
imagine it like the fall
of water over and over
from the wheel,
dipping and lifting,
powered by the most natural
of means.
Love the poems you're posting with your WordCandy.
