Gold Prospect Pan Poetry Lines Poem by Terence George Craddock

Gold Prospect Pan Poetry Lines



captures caught soul true blue poetry lovers
drifting through cast net inspiring thoughts
like Charleston alluvial gold rush catalytic
driven to allure glitter gold prospect pan lines...

not gold to swirl sift in pores
gold dust in flats mined in dirt hills
panned rivers beneath boulders
water pouring powering tread mills...

to cut timber logs for sluice lines
feelings true poet cannot deny hide
from only realized in fresh writers
panning true colour driven command...

to write enticing passion lit
candle flickering seducing lit
lines in crisp China moon flight
read by fans who search our sight...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Written in April 2014 on the 4.4.2014.
Split image from the poem 'Placing Emphasis When Reading Poetry' by Terence George Craddock.
This poem was interesting for me, because it echoed back to a few concepts in a poem, 'Driven' I had written back in July 1986. The poem 'Driven' is pasted below for anyone interested?


Driven
To sift the dross so patiently
to sluice for the hard-won gold
those little flakes of wonder
that for no price are sold.

They are no gift that man may give
by no mortal may be owned
a life of selfless sacrifice, dedicated live
so the genetic seed is shown.

yes I meant to use the second lit, I had a specific observed candle effect in mind, but did not want to over emphasize it :) Ever noticed how colours change in candle light? Yes I replied to you :)
