East Coasters, I am so sorry. It’s been quite the week returning from Spring Break. Yikes!
It was an honor to start last year’s poem. And it’s quite fun to hop into the middle of things. Love seeing this unfold.
Here is the poem with my line added:
A squall of hawk wings stirs the sky.
A hummingbird holds and then hies.
If I could fly, I’d choose to be
Sailing through a forest of poet-trees.
A cast of crabs engraves the sand
Delighting a child’s outstretched hand.
If I could breathe under the sea,
I’d dive, I’d dip, I’d dance with glee
A clump of crocuses crave the sun.
Kites soar while joyful dogs run.
I sing to spring, to budding green,
to all of life— seen and unseen.
Wee whispers drift from cloud to ear
and finally reach one divining seer
Can’t wait to see where it goes when Matt at Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme delivers a line.

Here I am catching up, Jone–and a third perspective now? Or am “I” the divining seer? What is the seen and unseen yet to come?
Oh, I love this! Intriguing indeed!
Oooh, a seer! Cool.
I hope that you had a delightful break!
xo
Jone, you add a touch of mystery to the PP. I do like the thought of having a diving seer enter the picture. There is so much wonder in this poem that the seer has so many possibilities if that is what Matt chooses to do.
I wonder what the seer sees in all this activity surrounding. An interesting twist of perspectives it seems.
Jone, have been celebrating my granddaughter’s birthday, so late reading this. How wonderful to bring more mystery, the whispers to this “perhaps new” character. Love it! Thanks!
Oh, fabulous! You have set the stage for intrigue with your lyric line ending.
Such fun to see each turn.
And brilliant Matt is more than equal to the task.
Onward…
Thank you so much for the compliment and confidence, Jan. I hope my line lives up to your expectations! 😉
Makes me wonder if the seer should be the narrator or someone else…hmmm, I hope I can come up with something worthy of this poem!
Exactly what I wondered when I read this line–I’m glad you’re the one who must decide, Matt. Wonderful intrigue in this line, Jone.
Mystery continues – hmmmm..! Hope you had a great break, Jone. Happy Spring!
a divining seer! How lovely and intriguing! Thank you, Jone! xo
