Everydayness for Real Toads

Everydayness

I am forever
a singing stone, feather weight,
stained by air and drink,
recipes for poetry
and sweet confectionary

 

 

written for Real Toads poetic form: tanka (5.7.5.7.7) and text “found” with Neruda’s “Sweetness, always”

    1. Wow, I think the grammar gods wept after reading my comment. My “post comment” finger is feeling quicker than my proofreading eye. Do excuse the spelling horrors.
