Silver cars silver flowers
Silver wires silver teeth
Silver moon crescent coinage
Silver ice on winter branch
Stainless highway silver spoon
Razor Blades silver dream
Faucet and one silver drop
Silver wheels silently
Glide my silver nerves
Silver are my stars
The skyline which obsesses us
With silver
The veins of earth
Which taught us the knife

Silver ( an image poem)
About This Poem
Last Few Words: before I saw the last assignment of a stanza about rock I started this, an "image poem" . So after a few hours I thought I'd put it out there. Trying to connect images we are accustomed to with those totally abstract. Just do a poem with images. No punctuation. An imagery stream of consciousness. now back to the rock stanza...

This has
a food for thought.I like the images though I can't guess where you're going to. Many directions I think depending o the reader's mood. I found a touch of romance between the lines and some kind of surrealism on others but always with a charming touch.
Thank you for sharing.
I am
Not sure you want to explain this one.
Image poem for image workshop
Just a "study" in images for the image workshop, before i knew the direction it was taking I tried this. It is most interesting to do this, just take a subject and play with it via images. I also tried "angels", "drums", and "kiss". It is a good exercise for a poet, like how a musician warms up with scales or dancer with stretching. We need a warm up too! I've learned fast image poems are a great way to get your mind into a poetic mood. Especially good when you have a block and just can't get started writing, try this.
Hmmmm......
A bit longer than I'd have preferred for the shop but I didn't put a limit on stanza length. As to being about a rock it's an easy fix to mention how almost all these silvers originate in stone ore......up to you of course......stan
