Paper Dreams by Talon

This week I thought I would highlight a very talented poet and storyteller, that happens to be one of my blog friends, TALON. I think her versatility as a writer is what appeals to me the most, but she is a great encourager as well. Many of you may have met her on One Shot Wednesday, but do pay her a visit to see more of her word art, here.

Paper Dreams: A Poem by Talon

In the fiction aisle "M-Q" weak sunshine

pushed through city grimed skylights

highlighting twirling dust motes

(their dance a lively movement

in the constrained silence)

as i shelved hardcover novels

with crackling yellow covers

And when a flower skeleton

fell from between the pages

of a heavy volume---

a whisper of dreams and memories

fluttering to the worn carpet---

I swore the fragrance of violets

lingered in the air...

I look forward to seeing all of you for One Shot Wednesday,
