Twelfth of June (for Fred and Maureen)

Posted in Poetry

flames flicker fervently

atop a large white candle.

two halves, now one,

make a smooth white whole.

two wicks, separately lit,

lean toward each other,

not touching, their two lights

joined in one inseparable flame.

a great mystery has occurred:

two wicks produce one flame

two lives become one flesh.

I love all your poetry! I write limericks, too. You can see quite a few of them at www.intellectuelle.com. I write a limerick for every one of my entries (it's a group blog).

I'm going to come back often!

As a stay-at-home, formerly tandem-nursing, homeschooling mother of four lively blessings, Tandemonimom finds herself with so much extra time on her hands, she must look for ways to fill it creatively! Blogging seems to be a good way relieve some of the clamor in her head.
