Weekly Wikems. Gravity.

Hello everyone, it's Thursday. Make it 'wikems time'.

Wikems = Wikipedia poems. 

• Each Thursday I post a link to a Wikipedia article, a quote from it and my wikem inspired by that quote.
• I invite you to explore the article, searching for a quote that clicks with you. (You are free to use "my" Wiki quote if it happens to be the one.)  
• Once you've found your quote, use it as an epigraph, write your wikem and post a link to it in the comments below.  (You are welcome to post your wikem directly in the comments if you prefer.)

 Let's play!

Last week's 'black' had a lot of outer space vibe to it...back to Earth this week...maybe.
Also, saw this post by Kristin Nelson. Check it out, writers.

And the wiki link is... 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity
Go explore. Search. Find. Write.




GRAVITY 
"gravity...cannot be...shielded against"

She used to be a bird once

before she found gravity

cannot be transformed

or shielded against

before she fell

and touched

the sky





Thank you for reading my wikem. 
Cannot wait to read yours.

Two Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day!

the hour of content

the dense silence of presence

everyone is home

 * * *

the whimsical willows

the words on the wall

the world that is waiting

the waters that fall
 

the wishes we whisper

the bottomless well

the wee hours get crisper

the winter waves swell

the ‘why?’, the uncertain

the cruel would-have-been

the wooing, the curtain

the vows in between

the one thing we own

the now with no end

the wonder we’ve known

the storms that we fend

the years that we weather

the wordless ‘love you’

the warmth of together

the oneness of two

CAST (double acrostic)

Could I be called

a coin, just a

speck in space,

tossed in time?
