Sensory Serenade
The Bodies Creative Communications
Shadows dance in veiled sunlight
weaving ways through groves of trees
Sight and sound together ignite
imaginations on the breeze
*
Sunset yields itself to moonlight
colors vibrantly explode
Bringing wonder awe and delight
nature’s senses overload
*
Misty rain to feed the flowers
goosebumps rise to meet the chill
Wind and rain mingle in showers
till every sense has been fulfilled
*
Birds and crickets serenading
owl’s and whippoorwills in tune
Send melodies across the water
frogs, duck, cranes and English loon
*
The way the body receives signals
sight, sound and smell, touching and taste
Like waves beginning from a ripple
each co-exist and interlaced
*
The smell the rain leaves as it’s falling
the taste of salt in crashing waves
The warmth of sunshine softly calling
sight and sounds alone, cannot contain

In A While
Dear Instant, How were we to measure your value. How can your worth be surmised? Is it in a kiss or final farewell? Maybe you are best measured by the emotions you infuse. Marking us, casting imprints on our memories, creating an insatiable desire for more.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Brilliant & beautiful!!!💖💖💕
Your rhyming and rhythm is getting so much better! Well done. Some beautiful images in this!
Gorgeous poem.
Reading this poem while sitting on my porch and it is about to rain is so fitting. Beautiful and engaging. ❤️
I really do miss the sense of smell, whether it be of falling rain or fresh baking bread. (No, not Covid. Two sinus surgeries.) Mesmerizing is almost but not quite the word I would use for this. Sensual might come closer, sweeping us dreamily through a wonder of sensual delights in the broader, though similarly ecstatic, sense of the word/phrase.
I love the title, the poem brilliant as always 🥰
Beautiful and mesmerising!
Gorgeous!
Sublime, Kelli!
