Gerald the Writer

Poetry, essay, and prose, oh my!

Posted on January 31, 2011 by Jerry

I’ll dance lightly on tepid glass

with you melted fifth position.

Your arms long, smooth, as gilded wings

I’ll slight embrace your poise sun.

A phoenix ray of squint ballet

you warmed the cold solstice

that hung briefly upon the air.

A mid- winter’s preface.

A ballad form for One Stop Poetry
