ghost open fear’s still scars
shadow dance dawn’s dream
shimmering balloons rose
leaving echoed breath
to grin storms lulled
twist life ajar
spring free
flicker bliss’s whisper
to melt sound
spill breezes
cloud curled bubbles
spark skipping drizzle
cue giggles
pepper-salt journeys
Earthing green

This is a blog about my life. It's about much more than living with cancer. It's about reading books, cold water swimming, mothering, eating. All that stuff that people who don't have cancer do. If you're looking for my poems you need to go to fmmewritespoems.wordpress.com

Bravo! We’re hanging in there! Although this may really be my “final act.”
From ghosts to greening Earth – what a journey. Like this.
So well done. I”m especially tickled by this combo:
“flicker bliss’s whisper
to melt sound”
This one really flowed to be honest.
Wow and bravo! This really works and I especially love ‘flicker bliss’s whisper to melt sound’ ;o)
Love how you managed it— I think I have given up on all the words.
I just love the challenge…44 is going to be tricky though.
I loved this, too!
Only four more words to go! I love:
‘shimmering balloons rose
leaving echoed breath’
and
‘twist life ajar
spring free’!
‘shimmering balloons rose
leaving echoed breath’
I love this, Paul! I commend you for keeping this up.
I love the alliteration in this piece and the imagery they created. Lovely ❤️
ghosts shadow dancing upon dreams… that is so cool
and “pepper-salt journeys”… great images.
I especially love the “shimmering balloons rose leaving echoed breath to grin storms lulled.” I envision it and it leaves me content and resolved.
Wonderfully done, the first two lines took my breath away..
These images splash across my mind as I read this. Frenetic and fantastic, Paul!
Pepper-salt journeys poetically! Amazing, Paul.
The whole poem, but especially the first two lines, require careful rereading and mental acrobatics – well done!
