Threads of Grace
(& Other Senryu)
Threads of grace descend
golden they lace purple clouds
offer heaven’s hands
Wonder clears the soul
Pushes out wrongful thinking
deepens connections.
Witnesses did claim
brief but erotic sparks danced
on the empty bed.
Rare roots found to feed
endless supply of young trees
aliens left seeds.
News at eleven
speak to mayor ’bout crime wave
vigilantes wave.

First two lines are my fav. So beautiful “laced” gives the poem and grace a feeling of delicacy. Great imagery.
Thank you! It’s my fav too

Excellent. That last stanza is fitting for these times. At least in NYC.
Thank you π Though NYC is not experiencing any more crime than usual. No vigilante action either. Oh wait–was that a caped crusader running down the street? π
Yes it is. There is a slashing epidemic going on in this city. People being slashed and stabbed FOR FUN. lol It’s not as bad as Chicago, but we are having serious problems. And the guy with the cape was a pizza delivery. lol
I hadn’t heard about that. I’m just outside the City. Then again I work a lot and don’t have much time to do more than scan the headlines every so often.
The icty has a rash of stabbing and slashing since January. Can’t wait to get out.
Moving to the ‘burbs? (coming over to the dark side)
Moving as far south as possible. Possibly Florida. Had it with winter too.

Thank you π It’ll all be here when you have time π I understand about that, some people I follow are even more prolific than I am. I do the best I can but I can’t read all of their posts either. I just read what I can. π
