The Weaver of Words
Nicole, your words on the last post
set me thinking and turned into a poem.
The Weaver of Words
Wind’s voice rattles clouds
Carrying the songs
Of the weaver of words
Fingers coarsened polished
To the point of a needle
Winding dazzling Ls
From skeins of silk
‘Skilfully’ she weaves
From an apes fist
‘Deceit’ from spider tears
Deftly her fingers dance
‘Azure’ ‘cornflower’
Float towards the sky
Catching a thread she joins
Consonants to vowels
Whispers them to the wind
And into the souls of men.

I wanted to drop a line to tell you that I at times reread your poetry...but there I was amazed by The Weaver of Words
and to know you got tagged by inspiration...remarkable poem...
iamnasra, how kind of you I'm glad you like it, I was supposed to be cooking but it insisted I found a pen and almost burnt the sausages.
Hi Felicity,I will do, meanwhile come back anytime
I love to go through earlier posts even if its back dated so much...wanting to know ifI happen to miss a great poem...or a poem that many have missed when you just started your blog..that is why my comments are scattered in one way
wow! that was a great poem! awesome!
i followed gama here =)
*smiles*
i will return soon...
iamnasra, me too, it's interesting to see how peoples work has developed over time.
The wind has a voice and many other things, as well. Wonderful, I loved it!
hey this so lovely, the weaver has created such a luxiorious (forgive the spelling)fabric here. the voice of wind sounds lovely.
its fascinating to read earlier posts.
Russel, I always think those windy nights sound like the elements arguing.
Gulnaz I can't spell so it doesn't matter, I will be looking out for the rest of your painting, it has a butterfly quality to it
sueeeeee- where are the sketches??? i totally trip on those!!
heheh. but nice poem... very cool...
Aisha, I'll post some soon I promise
Gamma, such a powerful force is bound to produce stronger recall, smells and music work like that too
Somehow that is so profound and equally beautiful You have a gift
Nicole, thank-you
Sue
By the way you can call me Nasra

Nasra of course the I am bit is who you are, silly me
