a half-finished, turned corner
satisfied coldness
incomplete
rain falling
against the grain
overcrowded rice bowls
rise stumble
stumble fall
touch
she draws a man
with yellow hat
the color of memory

fantastic poem. loved the way the mood changed at the final lines.
Thanks very much. It was one of those wake up in the middle of the night and write poems. Lovely to meet you. I’m going back to sleep now. Best regards, M.A.
good night, sleep tight. 🙂
like Sharmishtha, I loved the shift in the last part…wonderful poem
Thanks so much, David. 🙂
Very nice piece.
Thanks so much. I just subscribed to your blog. 🙂
Thank you kindly 🙂
Mmm, rain. That just set the mood perfectly. Great post! 🙂
Lovely of you to stop by–thanks so much for your comment. 🙂
Of course! It’s always a pleasure.
Thanks for liking my blog so I came to visit yours. Loved the yellow hat. Made the whole poem. I admit that I’m slow to pick up anything in poetry except for metered verse, but I’m trying. 🙂 Happy day. Deb
Thanks so much! Lovely to meet you. 🙂
Very nice to meet you, too. I think we met through Blogelina’s program, didn’t we? Your name sounds so familiar.
Gosh–I can’t remember… I’m sorry about that.
No problem. Were you in on the Blogelina thingey where over 100 people visit one another’s blogs for about a week? About three weeks ago. Anyway, my email is deborahowen@cwinst.com. We can talk easier that way.
No. I was fairly new to wordpress at that time. I may have commented on someone’s blog, but I wasn’t aware that this was going on. Thanks for your email. 🙂
Check out blogelina.com. You’ll love it if you’re interested in blogging. I’m not really swift with WordPress, but I’ll be glad to help if I can. Mess around with all the options in the dashboard. Lots of stuff there. I’m headed for bed so we can chat again tomorrow. My site is at http://www.creativewritinginstitute.com. Once again – nice to meet you.
Thanks. I’ll check it out–probably tomorrow. I’m headed for bed soon too. Wishing you a good day tomorrow. M.A. (Mary Ann) 🙂
I can’t help thinking of Curious George – and memories of childhood. Lovely. K.
That makes me very happy. 🙂
Very well written! Lyrically lovely.
I just love your blog. It gave me much joy and creative inspiration this morning…honored to follow.
“The Color of Memory”–just that alone is wonderful! Makes me think–may produce a poem, if so I’ll link back to you, okay?
I’ll look forward to reading it. 🙂
Fine, meaningful poem. I am a fan off everything you write.
I can feel the breeze. Lol. Good to see you here, Norm, and thanks! 🙂
Love this one!
Thank you, Amanda! 🙂
Very nice indeed. Flows wonderfully.
Thanks so much, George. 🙂
I love this … 😀
Thanks! 🙂
Nice.
Thank you, Tim. 🙂
Great rhythm to this piece. Excellent last stanza
Your poem, HE SITS is still sitting with me. I am delighted to have found your work.
Hello Friends and Fellow-bloggers,
For the past month a group of you have been extending your friendship hand by reading my posts and sharing your thoughts, nominating me for the VBA & THE LINK TO LINK AWARD, INSPIRATIONAL AWARD, COMMENTATOR AND SUNSHINE AWARDS, each a tribute and beautiful sweet honors gratuitously sent my way. Each are wholeheartedly accepted and acknowledged in this post despite my inability to post each photo of each of these marvelous awards.
Unfortunately, I’ve yet to master how to work with all these settings and technical availabilities, nevertheless, I still wanted to write down the nominees I wish to extend these same AWARDS to EACH of the magnificent and gifted writers, photographers, poets, musicians, artists and bearers of the light. Each one have souls that burn with the greatest gifts~ FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY. Each one use their senses of sight, hearing, touch, and smell to their maximum use then bring these into unique affinities that shine through in their own beautiful way and methods.
A person in my physical condition with severe limitations and usually bedridden in my parents home, your blogs allow me to travel, hear new viewpoints, see unbelievable sights, cry with your joys and pains, discover things I never thought I’d like since I’ve been somewhat secluded but never naive. Your blogs are new and beautiful paths strewn with rich colors of understanding, insight, passions and, creating a more “well-rounded soul (something my younger sister always said I lacked).
HERE ARE THE NOMINEE’S & Give these with sincere admiration and friendship and deep gratitude for your kindness and time which you allott me throughout your week. Bless each one of you in all your endeavors and personal desires to reaching your dreams. You have my support.
My following post will be my sharing 10 things about Myself ~if you’re interested..

What a beautiful tribute! There is such a wealth of talented artists, writers, photographers, poets, filmmakers, and the list goes on–on wordpress. Thank you for your friendship and for your posts.
I loved this. Somehow made me homesick (in a good way) for people watching in Japan.
