Dorinda, before I moved to Sacramento, I belonged to a poetry group headed by Elva Kremenlivich. In two sessions, we were asked to each suggest a word to use in a single poem. Our words in the first session were “molten, morning, worries, leasehold, lavenders, gold” I’ll just say that using words to trigger the muse actually works. My poem out of these follows:
ON SUMMER’S RISING
Barbara Grace Lake © 1982
Molten, drenching, is the air
I breathe and feel
On waking in a morning
Joyous to myself;
Gone the worries blackening
The night
Their leaseholds lost as sunlight
Washes clean the air,
Reflecting only floating grains
Of lint and dust–
Sparkling threads upon a
Buoyant tapestry,
Enlivening dry musty
Lavenders of age,
Forgotten in a breath of
Personal enchantment:
Golden
God-like,
Young,
On summer’s morn.
