Imagery

By Phred

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Staring out at the camera, she waits patiently any contact so far? Cat in the bed, making sure you can’t claim it’s territory And it has no outside interest, but her.... Bare legs swing on the edge of the bed, then cross over in the most graceful way Perhaps, the light isn’t right. (you could open a window) A cup of tea to lips....Earl Grey I believe...and the eyes still stare out at you.... Focus on the image A woman Her cat A cup of tea....(Earl Grey) excellent guess! Pardon the hangers-on, ignore the passers-by; they mean nothing to the image.... (What is she staring at?) Morroccan music you mother played to get you to sleep rings in your ears, chants and rants and musical rememberances no could ever understand..... (Finally, the focus is clear!!) And the cat stares and the woman blinks and the world shifts slightly to the right I meant to capture the reality all I got was the imagery...
