A platter

 'After the Journey' by Ed Smith
'After the Journey' by Ed Smith

    Wash in and out with psychic tides
    Disperse the seeds in the storm of
    high altitudes.

    Unbuttoned possibilities
    metamorphoses
    O, flying fish or bird-reboots.

    Who ordered the platter
    a motley paradise
    the sea/sky swap the poles & hues.

    Impossible to stay on either side
    while mingle –outstretched arm
    in cue.

    Don’t miss the catch,
    the row trips to celebrate
    with cotton sun.

    Where under every leave we creep
    the bursting jelly-moons –
    a ton.

  11. We seem to forget that we are living in that "motley paradise" now but most unlike you cannot see it. What a delight to read your words and let our minds play.

  12. Love it because it falls between whimsical and surrealism.
