‘Aspersions’ distracted me from the poem!!
Maybe that should be the title.
Ok I’ll go back …
I do love the imagery of the sun kicking off its blankets…
And I do realize you approach poetry as one who studies the forms and respects them ..
And though I kept losing the thread — it was only aspersions that confounded me. Often. And Consistently.
It confounded me, too, but I was determined to not let that stop me!
I do admire persistence…
The photos reminded me of el Greco’s View of Toledo..
Nice comparison. I've always been bemused by el Greco -- and now el Greca :)
Wow, that was really fun!
Thanks, Alan -- I'm glad to hear that. It was fun writin' too.
I love these word-woven tapestries you make, Jonathan. Your “asper-sions” are well employed.
Thank, Ann.
The aspersians
of the Persians
and their excursions
play out in my brain
in many versions.
Oh man 😂
“the sprung rhymic aspersions
of some drunk poet riding a bike” This fits perfectly. That’s what makes it even better.
Thanks, Rod
