Description
body div#devskin0 hr { }
imagine
a city that sings.
imagine a restless night,
a rain-washed sky, a
little cafe on the corner.
and there you are,
college-age sappho
penning poems in a
macbook, blue jeans
ripped at the knee.
neon light flickers.
your fingers dance,
your feet tap to the
rhythm on the radio,
your eyes are far away.
your shoulder blades
cast shadows on your
stardust-freckled skin.
you are lost in poetry.
you are beautiful
beyond words.

I've got to say I'm moved to tears; I mean the way that you write, the actual voice you hear beyond the words; powerful! Simply marvelous! I'm sorry it took me so long to find this poem, it's simplicity and elegance makes my heart bold and swell from deep within! Many thanks! -Mae.

Proving once and for all you can write in the style and vein of Sappho without once referencing the sometimes-claimed compulsory narrow flame under the skin.
Well done.

Oh man... I just reread this, and I think reading this poem must've subconsciously inspired one of my characters? Who is also named Sappho, and who is a college-age poet with far-away eyes.
either that or it's a remarkable coincidence stemming from us drawing common inspiration from Sappho of Lesbos

I'm trying to imagine this in Sapphic stanza. This sounds a lot like her lyrics (updated to modern times)... she is one of the finest singer-songwriters that I know of!
She's inspired me to compose about the beauty of men like she's inspired you to compose about the beauty of women! I can't stand that her music and most of her lyrics are lost.

I've only been a few times, but they have spread all around the globe! I'm pretty sure they have a cold coffee flavour named Poetry~ cheeky I know, but at least they acknowledge that coffee and writing go together perfectly

Nice piece! When you allude to "college-age sappho," are you referencing the lyric poet?
