Creased

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , , ,

She creased my heart to make
an impression, ambient
thoughts blend with memories
woven from life before you left
a mark on me the last time.

So I look to the future, folding
new experiences like
an origami lotus flower —
now germinated — shoots shouting
in the sun not for the last time.

  4. Wonderfully vivid imagery here. I smiled with the first two lines and found the remainder to be just as delightful. Delightfully done, all said, well-contained and satisfying to the end.

  5. Love the hope in this. The imagery is superb, like you’ve folded several great poems into one.
    Especially like
    “an origami lotus flower —
    now germinated — shoots shouting”
    Just beautiful!

  22. We can’t unmake those creases, but there is always hope of creating something new and lovely with the folds.
