Out Our West
Out our west window
One plum and another
One appears -- in
An astragal of spheres
Arranged a good deal
Like planets under
Sun --to reel and
Dance around a line.
I must conclude cosmos,
Chance and plum trees
Turn on a common
Axis, and share design.
Beautful fruit and definitely part of the grand design.
ReplyDeleteThe fruit trees in CA are a wonder. I enjoy looking at them when I visit your beautiful state.
ReplyDeleteLovely little globes, warming in the sun.
ReplyDeleteYou have made me hungry but your plums look like apricots in the glowing sunlight.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of fruits dancing in space..! A bit too high to pick, mind you.......
ReplyDeleteAnother impressive poem (I wouldn't expect anything less from you)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emma. Those plums look like apricots - - and they remind me of the apricot trees we had in our yard when I was a teen. I can still smell the HEAVENLY blossoms......
Great lines-
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of cosmos, chance and plum trees turning on the same axis---and sharing a design
Wonderfully described about the plums and the way they hang in the tree...
ReplyDeleteLove the comparison to galaxies. And, like Tom, I love the thought of everything turning on the same axis. It's a thought that has such ripples . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm a fruit lover! I dream of growing fruits in my yard someday. :)
ReplyDeleteThose plums certainly do look like apricots which I really enjoy to eat....we don't seem to get golden plums here in Oz.
ReplyDeleteLoved the poem.
