Ambrosia
(HexSonnetta)
Beside the gurgling stream
I sit upon the grass
and watch the shards of glass
(reflected rays that gleam)
alone, as I daydream
below the clouds that pass.
Away from urban din
it’s peaceful all around
except for nature’s sound
that flows along akin
to music soft within
where strings of joy are found.
My senses taste with greed
and on ambrosia feed.
Paul Callus is a Maltese
author who writes both in Maltese and English. He has contributed to several
anthologies. Apart from poetry he writes lyrics for songs and has published two
books, one a story book aimed at children (related to his experience as a teacher)
and a historical book based on research.
I am very touched by this poem. Strong images take me into the scene, and the ending, involving my sense of taste and that depth of want are powerful. That greed, feeding on ambrosia are words that pop my senses. A memorable poem.
