Wanton (Pleiades)

by Hellon   Mar 6, 2016


Waltzing copper leaves stir
whimsical notions of
wanderlust. Restless and
wistful of their freedom
wishing to drift afar
whilst time marches on and
work is reality.

    Hellon nails this form, just a splendid poem by Hellon this week!

    I have true adoration for this poem, it takes you to a place of possible rice fields, working your fingers to the bone, for pennies I'm sure, just to make wantons.. I may be way off but I do see this visually in my head.... Hellon's poetry makes you think and that is what adds such beauty to this poem! well done!!
