Something about you

[nibbed]

Hi Achebe. How should I pronounce your name? I must know because I speak in my mind when I write and it would make things smoother. Is it Ache-bee long vowel A? Anywho, your poem is amazing. It is a beautiful poem that makes me see pastel blues and lavender and yellow greens all soft and lovely things. Like breathing fresh air, or finding an escape away, into peace and calm.


Something about you
this morning, with the roses
blown delicately in the early winter
gardens, came to my mind.
My thoughts have nothing to do but amble,                           ~I like this and how it sticks out.
on a dawn bus ride
past backyard and bramble,
through a fog bound city,
its blackened brick walls
left behind.                                                                             ~this was the only line I didn't like, only because it was by itself.
Something about it, this morning, in the gardens                      and reminded me of the Left Behind Series, which I really dislike
came to mind.                                                                           for it's wolfen contents. I can't unsee it when I read the poem.
                                                                                                 So, I see a spiritual filth and deception when I see those two words.
                                                                                                 It dirties up the beauty of mystery.



thank you kindly for a wonderful, thought provoking, read.
