Another Poem For Christine
Last
night you found your way home,
despite
the intervening twenty years,
and
the fact I've moved more than once.
Of
course it was a dream,
the
corridors conspired and turned in to walls
and
kept us apart, though I walked for miles,
until
I awoke with this poem in my head.
Then
there was a choice,
stay
in bed or write it down.
I
chose, in the grey dawn,
to
sit in this comfortable room
and
write you another poem.
There are a number of changes, most noticeably the line breaks. Layout can really affect a poem and it is always worthwhile playing about with how it looks on the page. As you can see from this work in progress layout changes how the reader approaches the poem.
the
thick, warm night reverberates with the echo of the music, I carry an
amp to their car, they have a hundred and fifty mile return journey,
the house concert is now a party, fat, splat raindrops impact on the
road as we walk back to your home, bringing the promise of a cooler
night
Here is some music from a long time ago, back when videos were thought to be cool.
