The tempest

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , ,

The tempest brought more
than rain, sprinkling magic
on marble-topped memories
that called from a dream
still shipwrecked. The sun tries
to break the spell but hope
flourishes in the light & she enjoys
showing off her tan. Though the tide
may wash visitors ashore or pull
other spirits out of a hat, she drinks
me in wearing tails.

Written for dVerse’s Poetics: Homage to The Bard. I chose The Tempest.
