Lone Dreamdays by Joni Caggiano

Lone Dreamdays by Joni Caggiano

I acquiesce to God, a lividity prints itself

upon my head

age summons memories, of starving

cats, playing pennywhistles in an alley

my pen spreads ink, keen to write

peculiar dreams, as I slumber on a

barren bed

you emigrate with crows, to warmth, as I

linger in colds

oil tainted with burnt-red clay, as a late

frost bites my soul for a taste

of the song, the wrens sang for me, of

my hope, for the veracity of her story

told

  9. I loved the smooth vibe to this one.. Renaissance indeed..a Renaissance woman, doubtful. You’d have been a hell raiser 😜
    At least I hope you would have been. But there is a unmistakable ease of this piece, like water flowing gently in a cold stream..it’s quite soothing. It is not as intense as some of your more heavier poems. Very great exhibition of your writing skills. Loved it, Joni. 💜💜💜

    1. Dearest Nigel, wow, thank you very much for all your very kind comments, and you’re right, I’m a bit of a hell raiser. I risked my life once as a teenager for someone I hardly knew, but that’s a story for another day 😁 hugs and love from the both of us ❤️
