The Prompt, “OpenLinkNight ~ Week 32” from dVersepoets
natasha head, hosting dversepoets’ openlinknight has some wonderful commentary about why those who write, well, write –
it’s inspiring to read, as a writer or a reader…
she mentions writers who write “daring to post their hearts” –
she writes of how “Through this community, and on through the ether of cyberspace, brave spirits venture forth, hear my words, and encourage me to keep at it….” –
and she quotes walt whitman’s words, “To have great poets…there must be great audiences” then proceeds to tell us we are that great audience, and how much it means to her…
it is, as i’ve mentioned, inspiring…
i don’t know what the title of this work will be, it’s topic, or tone, but, here goes 😉

What Would Walt Whittle
tired
in the way the wind wears stones down
naturally
confident
in the way a bird rests upon thin limbs
whistles, and knows there’s food
for the spotting
angry
that i get so angry
sometimes
glad
i know this is
so
refreshed
when i breathe reminders of the good
things i can feel, the colors i can see, the
touch of my wife’s hand tapping
my thin remaining hair in
place
i feel i’m always finding rocks
i like to turn over, just to see
what crawled under
always finding croppings in the wide open
spaces
i can use for photo-poems, art, word
prompts
there’s so much land
we love crawl-walking over
bike paths, trails, patches of clearing
roadsides and byways with rails
cause they know we know
we’re gonna walk them
anyways
i found my poem’s title tilling time with words
i must’ve absorbed the poem prompt
and grew a new beard of thought
from pondering walt’s wise
words about my
audience
are there really still holiday lights in trees
downtown a week past valentines?
i like that lopey optimism
that assumes there’s
folk who’ll fawn
over every tree
lit like
firefly nests
walt whitman lives
where living’s lived
whether paper ether music or cries of voices
the living…is always felt…
