"When I tell you the day is a poem"
Transcendent. I love the steady, calm pacing, the brutal landing at the end.
"How will the sky answer the wind" that's so magical. Great job!
Looked up tepidarium. Love poems I learn from, whether vocabulary or the entire heartscape.
The poem feels like someone quietly moving through a morning and noticing how the world turns poetic when you slow down enough to see it.
I love how the day starts with “strips of yellow glass,” a small detail that already feels full of warmth.
There’s something intimate in the idea of speaking to one person while the sky listens in, almost like sharing a secret.
The wind, the seawall, even the pomegranate seeds feel alive, as if the world is gently nudging the speaker forward.
The reference to Van Gogh adds a soft layer of sadness, like the past is brushing up against the present.
I really like the moment with the pigeons brief, tender, gone in an instant.
The poem keeps shifting between calm beauty and sudden harshness, the way real days often do.
The questions near the end feel honest, the kind you ask when you’re trying to make sense of things.
The final lines hit with a quiet truth not dramatic, just clear-eyed about how the world is.
By the end, it leaves you standing in the present moment, not romanticized, just real and strangely grounding.
