Spherical



There is exotic in repeating,
pouring  in a censer.
Swinging lasso, carefree.

It floats circular, heady, hypnotic;
pollinating everything open in my wake.  
Ritual of joy.

This time, I am brave enough
to leave nothing unsaid;  the whole
makes cosmic sense. 

Orbed.  Embraceable.

I am compelled to whisper it in round. 
A chant.  Maybe a prayer,
on the brink of a spell.

  13. I loved "Maybe a prayer on the brink of a spell," Round and round we go in life. A chant goes on, prayers and spells go on but we only go round once. I digress but I loved this one Tess great take on the prompt. I didn't know it was Liz Taylor either. Lol!

  14. "A prayer on the brink of a spell". I love this suggestion! Especially in regards to the motion of the twirling lasso! Gorgeous :)

  15. I remember being amazed by people who could twirl lassos... until I touched a real lariat. Here I was, a kid in my living room, trying to twirl soft mushy rope in a perfect circle, cursing my poor coordination, when the lasso twirlers were using rope so stiff and wiry that it stays in a circle by itself! Enjoyed this well-rounded verse, and the endearingly pensive reading by the handsome gent.

  17. Yes... a prayer on the brink of a spell. Maybe casting spells is what prayers do.
