imagery – Jenny Grace's Poetry and Creative Writing Techniques

Carousel

Carousel horses stomp the ground of a Saturday memory; spin until the ground bleeds with my shattered self.

A love flies past.

Slips through my fingertips.

Rabbi waves good-bye; street lights, like halos, cast sidelong shadows against the Spanish moss swaying in warm evening of late July.

Voices fall away; moonlight lingers, follows me down the broken cobblestone path.

Last Shabbat; shadows cast against my face. I turn and wave good-bye.

This poem is from my poetry book “Spaces Between the Pause.” It is available on Amazon Books. I haven’t yet put it on Kindle.

Thanks for reading.

Thunder trolls the universe

slapping against invisible canopies.

Silence, a stunned casualty.

Snow on a littered ridge.

Sun ignites snowflakes; a frozen spark.

Words drip form the edges of thoughts.

Who remembered what?

Rolling along a journey’s path,

shadows, shattered shards of pink calcite crushed,

scattered.

Blueberries bouncing off the soggy Georgia red clay; sweet lavender rain washes all the buried sins away.
