Blind feelings

Blind Feelings


Like a few monochrome faces

with their well set hair, Albert style;

slightly stiff mannered and hungry-

good time is striding her way.

She can feel the tacit sensation,

the tingling one, last felt at sixteen

in a summer day, on the roof…

She is blind but spring is blind too.

Together they hand-stitch this season.

Looks can be deceiving. Nicely portrayed!

ooh I love the last line,

"together they hand stitch the season."

You are a man of many intellectual and artistic sensibilities.

((( I loved this...my favorite line is:She is blind but Spring is blind too! )))

This one leaves me wanting more, somehow. You let my imagination soar. Thank you for posting to our group.

I see a slightly different style to your writing here, nice. The poem is delivered smoothly, and the last line is a winner.

You've captured well the essence of spring stirrings that rise up like scenes in a dream from our experiential DNA.

Check out my spring poem "Rude Awakenig."

I hope you don't mind the generic comment, but I am so far behind on my commenting. I have enjoyed the content of yours I have looked at though.

Vivid portrait of "blind love." I was a bit distracted at first, thinking the subject was quite literally blind.

Thank you for posting this to The Surreal Circus. Congratulations on your feature.

This seems to be a mis-matched couple!
Sheila Deeth Mar 23, 2009, 2:05pm EDT

Good one.
Adrian Eve Revenaugh Mar 23, 2009, 2:37pm EDT
...running like crazy while hinged in the middle
or sure strides toward a rooftop in the sun.

Stitch upon stitch, row upon row,
seasonal craft toward sighted love.

Poet Kushal, good crafting
