one with exuberant smile





one with exuberant smile,
shield and a form of sword,

dure as baked tile, glazed,
brittle boned. worn smooth

not so by age as such born—
bred, yet still wet gilled

and scaled; embarked on marathon
crawl to marrow and a dawn.

hello to all FoS poets
and followers,

this is a first
attempt for me over here--
i'm honored to be included
in such fine company.

i hope this little one
is appropriate.

noxy.

I get the impression of life crawled from the muck and ready to evolve, and I like the snaking rhyme.

This has the gleaming, infinite quality of something just being born. Welcome.

This is so beautiful. I re-read this over and over just to get back the feeling when reading the poem.
