'Rising...' Poem by Lillian Susan Thomas

'Rising...'



Rising
from sleep
naked, the sun
and I glimpse
Into each
other: one
clear eye-
to-eye.
Blinding!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Paul Hansford 02 May 2009

Haiku by feel if not by form. The notion of the sun (as well as the writer) rising from sleep naked is a neat image, and I suspect 'Blinding! ' is used in a literal and a slang sense (as 'Fantastic! ') . Double meanings like these add richness to a poem.
