Daydreams

Evoking
the taste of red tomatoes
at meal times
in the empty solitude
of an afternoon
mentally wondering
while wandering
through yesterday’s memories.

A captive mind
entangled
as the past erupts
from a crowded room
and reflections
from a sightless night
shimmer
under an arch of cerulean blue.

    Lovely, Ken. I enjoy your poetry tremendously. Every time I write wonder in a line, I’m tempted to wander in the next one. We share that notion. Side note: I want a tomato…an old fashioned, flavorful tomato now…

    • I was a line that appeared in my mind out
      of the blue. I like tomatoes too, but not exclusively. Thanks for your inspiring comments.
      I guess I owe a vote of thanks to my subconscious mind. It works so hard for me – alien territory in some respects. No control over it!

  7. Thank you for your comments, and the reblog. I feel a bit like an old tire.
