Carve out
a cambium
perch under
canopy plumage,
where
warm
golden
goose eggs
burst between
seams of
nesting leaves,
life resting
with inestimable
value around me.

And so it does if you sit for a moment and listen and watch.
Exactly, my friend! The moment dropped a dozen golden yolks on my head, leaving me a heat-soaked human omelet 😉
Cheers,
Tyler
Human Omelet; tasty and well seasoned I hope!
Haha! Do you want it extra tan and thick with grease and pepper jack cheese or pale as an egg white substitute, fit for a Norwegian diet?
Cheers,
Tyler 😉
Definitely, no egg white substitute!
Haha! Ok, I’ll remember that next time 😉
Oh I want to go there! Looks perfect 🙂
Yes, it was so tranquil and calm that day. Just the right atmosphere for thoughts to plop right down in your lap 😉
Cheers,
Tyler
The title adds so much to it for me ❤
Thank you, Ana! I take great pride in composing titles for my poems and photographs. They have to perfectly complement each post, otherwise I run the risk of alienating the moment’s pathos. Titles evoke the first impression, brief words hinting at memories, setting the mood before the viewer’s eyes start digging. I really enjoyed your poem “Colourwheel.” You have a wonderful way with words. Keep up the inspired work on your blog!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
I totally agree. I really hate generically titled poems. And thanks so much for your comments on “colour wheel” – I don’t feel it is the best thing I’ve written so far but I’m glad you appreciate it. I wanted to write about the way in which colour can form so much of a memory and the colours themselves become so deep and meaningful. I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂 xx
Ps: I think its the digging I enjoy most about reading poetry – looking for those hints of little secret parts of the memory.
Me too! Exploring secrets under each poetree unearths the glory of its golden story. These brief hints of enlightenment are where it’s at, my friend. Keep scratching the surface, the act of discovery is in need of assistance 🙂
Cheers,
Tyler

It’s been another fabulous day spent outside in Nature’s playground, soaking up sunshine, submerging my soul in the glow of timeless moments…
you must have a poem for everything you see… what a creative soul you are. 🙂
Thank you, Deb! It’s true. I’m constantly plumbing the depths of my mind for a poem or photo in every moment, no matter how small or insignificant, my task is to elevate the simple, extracting awe and wonder out of the commonplace, framing life with words and pictures so we never take it for granted. I hope you are having an inspired day, my friend!
Cheers,
Tyler 🙂
you do all that and more…
