I wrap my words
with bows,
to ribbon syllables
to sentences;
to sense and singe,
a silk-surprise
(whispered) fire-
placed;
both summer Christmas
and your birthdays
late in May.
it’s how we flowerbed
the only way
I ever poetry… and
gift for you.
Lillian wants us to write poetry on the subject of gift at dVerse. Written in haste.

The Best, the Very Best!! Your poetry is always a gift!!
This may have been written in haste, but it’s lyrical and wonderful! 🙂
Your poem made me smile too, Björn! It’s a lovely gift for a Tuesday night.
‘it’s how we flowerbed
the only way
I ever poetry’ 🙂
What a gift and treat this is to read, I love your verbalisations, especially:
‘it’s how we flowerbed – the only way I ever poetry… and gift for you.’
Really effective line breaks. This is my favorite:
“a silk-surprise
(whispered) fire-“
You give wordly gifts well. “it’s how we flowerbed”.
Poetry is a gift.
Love this:
to ribbon syllables
to sentences;
And ‘flowerbed’ as verb!
and what better gift than words of poesy! 😀
Your flowerbed is lush and very beautiful ~ A gift for us to read, smiles ~
I like your making poetry into a verb.
Ribboning syllables to sentences; great description of putting your poetic self to work. The smooth words did the trick
the best gift ever!…
“I wrap my words with bows…”. What a beautiful way to start a gift of poetry.
Haste or not, I enjoyed this one very much.

I love what you’re doing with your nouns!
This is inspiring! Your inventive wordplay makes me want to create new words.
Really beautiful. I love how you use poetry as a gift, as a metaphor described as a living gift on holidays and other times. It is a meaningful gift.
Sweet & resolute, brother–for sure, we all gift each other & posterity with poetry several times a week; may it continue.
I like how you turned poetry into a verb. This was fun to read and seems so joyful!
Love this! And you poetry beautifully. 🙂
Every day’s a holiday with poetry…whether by fire-placed or flower-bed!
and this just made me smile. ❤ so so so good!
A delightful poem! I loved it!
Wow…incredibly beautiful!
Gorgeous descriptions. I love the part about the ribbons. The imagery is great 🙂
Wonderful!
So beautiful! 🙂
