One Single Impression: Movement
Movement
Webster Unabridged
dad's old book gives us choices
movement twice defined
- - - - - - -
a scene all have seen . .
old men sitting on a bench
no movement here ....
- - - - - - - - -- - - -
she felt the wiggle
a little kick it might be
movement -- mother's womb
- - - - - - -
eighty-three jewel
engineer must be on time
rail hand WestClock watch
- - - - - - -
cuppa dark and hot
sizzling sip -- what movement here
little bug boiling
- - - - - - -
peas porridge hot and cold
eat work play sleep one day old
in the pot flush now
- - - - - - -
outdoor symphony
sit on hands -- be very still
last movement applaud
encore applause maybe stand
that's the way my momma said

Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do. Edgar Dégas
The same may go for poetry? (whatever, I enjoy painting with the words!).

Old men sitting on a bench - a classic scene. Lots of reflection on age,birth and time.
Loved these. So many images. Excellent.
just feel like I've taken a railway journey with flashing vignettes of movement seen thru the window. brawly done me jim.
Jim these were all very enjoyable images/movement ... But 3 and 7, my favorites. I remember the fist time I went to a symphony, it was amazing and I applauded out of term --- I was so embarrassed.
Thanks for the prayers for me and my family. I got a chance to see my daughter this weekend, and I felt that the prayers are being heard, she felt so much better.
Hi, back again to check out the photo you mentioned - great bunch of guys!
These are fun. Your lighthearted wit and your gentle insight are always spot on!
Oh, my, I see a lot of the non-movement mentioned in your second one, in the retirement community where I live. Sometimes I'm the motionless one, on a sunny bench. :-)
That's good! ;)
Liked the progression. Very thoughtful verses.

These were all cleverly done...I really loved the first one! It brought back memories of our big dictionary I used to use when I was a kid.
Jim, these are all delightful! I love the old men sitting on a bench and the baby's kick. They sum up the movement of life, don't they?
ps. I'm really glad the alligator didn't get me! But way back then I had to wait over a week to get new glasses and that meant I couldn't work, or read or write a check - or anything!
It was in the late 70's - before "glasses in an hour" - and I just knew that darn alligator was swimming around wearing my glasses and taking pictures with my camera!

it is probably not surprising to you that i really like your last one. :) i could also connect to the third one. great depictions.
A lovely and reflective post - each piece strikes a new and familiar note of life.
Wow Jim, you had a lot to say on movement. And, they are all very good.
Jim, I pretty much loved all of these. Really clever examination and flushing out of various definitions of "movement". It reads like a story....
PS: my offering is totally open to interpretation; not sure I really know myself.
Oh, and thank you for your very kind support last week too. Your comment left me walking a little straighter. Truly.
This is touching & catches the movement Jim..
I like the mothers womb-
Hi Jim~ I loved your poems...nice take on the word movement; I think you covered it all. Must be wonderful to live where the weather is nice all the time. Chicago- not so much but a few nice days in February- gotta love 'em! Take care~ Patti
I enjoyed all the active and quiet movements seen in your works.
I smiled as I saw the "wiggle"
What a nice array of movement poems and images!
