I am Telesto,
a tiny moon in motion,
a forgotten daughter
of the Greek god, Oceanus,
an orbital body
of stories and myth -
forget me at your peril,
for I am proof that
even the smallest of us
can become our own
centers of
gravity
for DS106 Daily Create
Singing from the edge
of a spring seasonal pool,
a chorus of frogs
Melodic bird song:
One lone nightingale, warbles
under the moonlight
Whispered note, a breath,
a conjuring frequency,
one lone ear-worm, left
Along the edges
of highways and roads, flowers -
wild – paint the landscape
Suddenly: verdant -
where brown dirt was, now grass grows
green as the eye sees
Curved edges bending
inward, the leaf as a cup
collecting raindrops
for Algot
The field is abuzz
with noise, an interlocking
orchestra at work
Yellow petals drop;
the bent stem droops – an aged man
picking up papers
A palm-sized pencil,
accidentally kicked by a kid,
rolls its way to my foot,
an invitation to writing;
the graphite snaps before
I scribble out this poem
a sorta Sijo poem, for DS106
