a fragrant moon
floats
a thousand petals
more
ghosts of flowers
shine
pale lotus skiff
drifts
past silver laden
shore
greening reeds
wait
in wake bow
low
the fishes kiss
folds
of moon’s watery
train

I don’t know if it interests you at all, but I could really “hear” some of these poems read by the poet, like slpmartin does.
Just a thought…

I’d considered it but I don’t have the necessary equipment. Something that will have to wait until I’ve moved in September. 🙂

I love this imagistic poetry and commitment to stay with the concrete image. Also arrangement on the page is nice.
