    Poem Commentary

    This poem was inspired by the feel and feeling of a brand new book, the respect for what it holds and for the time and passion put into it.

    Birth of a book

    A book was born
    One sunny,
    Windy,
    Day.

    My fingertips
    Explored its breath-
    The glossy top
    Of its head,
    The rising of its arms in prayer...
    Bursting with sound to say

    The silence dancing 
    Sparkling,
    Swaying,
    Armor raised up
    in brilliant light,
    A gravity pulling-
    From the inside


    As my thumb grazed its middle
    A quiet that
    was longing to call,
    its stiff minila droplets
    to pour
    like a waterfall

    Bumbling baby-
    Battering my heart...
    With jewled eyes
    That break
    The bluest of skies
    apart.

    Love it ! Your book of words have only just begun, I feel that with your library of thought it will fill its pages, and in time many others will fill its shelves.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
