The Poet Answers

Answer Morning –
Where is the moon –
Where are the stars –
Where are the dreams?

Ah, said Morning –
Where is the dew –
Where are the birds –
Where are the poems?

Sparkled the Sun –
Where is your pen –
Where are the words –
Where are the rhymes?

Here, said the poet.

My response to Imaginary Garden with real Toads FASHION ME YOUR WORDS ~ a query

Gillena has asked us to fashion her a poem, using not more than 100 words, in the style of Emily Dickinson’s ‘Answer July’:

Answer July—
Where is the Bee—
Where is the Blush—
Where is the Hay?

Ah, said July—
Where is the Seed—
Where is the Bud—
Where is the May—
Answer Thee—Me—

Nay—said the May—
Show me the Snow—
Show me the Bells—
Show me the Jay!

Quibbled the Jay—
Where be the Maize—
Where be the Haze—
Where be the Bur?
Here—said the Year—
