John Michael poetry tow truck #7-all you need is love / poets united the poetry pantry #29

Backgrounds exist on
every picture painted,
setting my imagination
in proper direction.
Promises kept.
Words we hold
in between. 
A crossing
in the galaxy.
Spectacular  
Coalition 
Formation
A comfortable chair,
a glove that fits perfectly,
a breeze on a stifling day,
a warm spot to rest
when I think of you.


process notes:
I wrote this poem for my husband.
This is not my usual style but
tomorrow is Valentine's day.
So here is his present.

    What better way to celebrate V-day.
    Home-cooked meal, quiet time and
    a good movie.
    I don't do commercial anymore.
    Thanks so much Sherry.

    Thanks Mary. I like experimenting with
    different styles of writing or else I
    may get bored.
    He was surprised and quite happy.

    I love the form of this... it looks like it's shaped like a king's goblet. Filled with such warm words it makes an amazing gift. :)
