Lambent Lament


The golden rod has returned
To the lambent field
It stretches high, higher everyday, waiting
In the lambent field
As the golden rod has returned

  1. Your NaiSaiKu poems are so soft and they bring so much peace to my heart. Life truly needs observance.

    Love your writing, beautie!

  3. Lovely blog you have here. Just as I logged on yesterday my sister called from the road, so I don't recall whether or not I left a comment on the poem in your newest post... and I didn't see this post, but I'm back today to do just that. Thanks so much for your visit to and comment on my first NaiSaiKu attempt at Small Reflections. I write lots of Haiku with my photos and mosaics, so this seemed a 'natural' for me. I thoroughly enjoyed your colorful yellow blossoms and your Lambent lament. I suspect I'll participate again because this was fun.
    Hugs and blessings,

  4. Thank you all for connecting with this. It is a small bit of a longer, quite special lament still in progress - to be continued...

Want

A wee look into my thought process... Mar 24/09 In search of wisdom and contentment, I start yet another journal - this one dedicated to truth and lies, poems and prose - me. I want My father died still in want It is spring and the land is wanting what lies beneath not wanting to be found I want In want to be larger than life Yet want to shrink away into nothingness In want of a child In want of Love To be Loved To Love I want Janet Jarrell
