I explain
The inexplicable
Make sense
Of the senseless
Oh let me stop slaying the child
~ feasting on mystery ~
Who flies on the wings
Of wonder
Her raison d'aitre
Dissolving fear suspended
In awe and wonder.
d’Verse poetics prompt:
Build a bridge
At d’Verse, poets were instructed to either:
- Write a poem about bridges that uses some form of the word ‘bridge’ in the poem or in the title, or:
- Write a puente (bridge) poem, which does not need to include the word bridge (but it can).
I opted for the 2nd alternative. With thanks to David at https://skepticskaddish.com/2021/04/28/this-heart-or-this-mind/ for inspiring me, encouraging me and introducing me to d’Verse and new forms of poetry. This was so much fun.

I love that that bit spoke to you most, Bettie. When I added that in, it made me think of this really long suspended bridge in the Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand. I remember trembling crossing that bridge. It was both scary and breathtakingly beautiful. But wonder won over fear 😊❤.
