Shakespeare's Monkeys

Infinite Monkeys. Infinite Typewriters.

More in something to work with

more bits for later

in the time of cool evenings

 the sun dying through

the pale green of new leaves

cloistered in the grove

and the branches arc

to a sky washed gold

dreams spiral up

and on to float

with the clouds billowing to the sea

and a rush of wind

stirs the canopy and conjures

spring.

Alcuin of York - on May 7 2007
I find these floating poems quite common. There is little insight offered here, no surprises. By "floating", I mean run on imagery that sounds poetic in the sense of "graceful". Honestly, I would like to see you make the poem say something - give it some traction that truly engages the reader. I'm afraid I don't find that here. Perhaps it's just my own taste.
