circles uncommon



always wanted
to flow in circles uncommon
outstretched in meaning

you asked me to
think outside the parameters
of rounded thought, processes
similarly viewed, angle it

you said, shed
light on it from a distance
review polygons - mirror
sides, light reflects sharper
than in spheres
revisited

step to the edge, perch upon
the crest of common
taut uncommon realms, reign
within the points
of shapes imperfect

perfectly graced.....

in watching the Royal Wedding - it is evident that this is a couple that is stepping to the beat of their own drum while embracing the beauty of all things Arthurian...wishing them the best..bkm

    Shapes imperfect...this embraces us all, and its a lovely state of being.

    Grace, it is there, in these words of yours.

    Sounds like an allusion to Prince William's mother here too? What a wonderful way to start a life together.

    No need to revisit certain spheres. Love the movement and the "angle" of this!
    Perfectly graced...indeed. Thank you.

    you asked me to
    think outside the parameters
    of rounded thought...

    This is my constant ideal of thought, but I've never been able to express it as well. Your poem is a fitting tribute to the Royal Wedding and yet could quite easily stand alone. A highly thought-provoking piece.

    This is beautiful. Love the photos. Seems like she is changing already with a much more serious tone. I guess I'd be quite serious though if they called me Princess and meant it. LOL
