CLOTHESLINE EXCLAMATIONS
*
On a March clothesline
.. transparent icicles in a row
in the bright sun
they drip and glow
Marks of exclamation !!!!!!!!!!
.. crystalline exclamation points of joy
.. each exulting in the light
.. .. at the end of each melting dagger
a watery globe..
they say.. this silent xylophone
with their quiet exclamations
Spring is coming
they say without explanation
(to kind L Umana)

CLOTHESLINE JOY VERSION TWO
*
a row of icicle daggers
melt
and turn to nursing
watergivers
drops slide down
the obelisks and
in the sun they become
bubbling christmas lights
the xylophone of crystal
is disappearing
they are a row
of exclamation points of joy

when you smile
the 2 corners
of your mouth
lift the shades
and light from your
soul
pours through your eyes

i really enjoy the intricate simplicity of this poem. (i hope that makes sense) well done.
Fantastic... it is amazing how a simple object can represent so much. I really could feel the dawn of spring which brought a smile to my face.
What is it about a clothesline? This is fantastic. One of my better efforts is also about a clothesline. lol
