Two complementary ‘Waltz Wave’ poems
| my mama my anchor my first love you made me you make me feel safe ready to face my future to grab life by its horns and leap onto its rippling back | my dear child my darling my great joy you are mine yet you are your own with confidence enough for both of us I’m so excited to see how far you’ll go |
What Do You See? #186
These two ‘Waltz Wave’ poems were written in response to Sadje’s WDYS poetry prompt. She provided us with the above photograph, taken by Alisa Dyson (Pixabay), of a young boy holding the face of a woman in his small hands and smiling affectionately at her.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
