Today's poem:

Poem Starting with a Line from Norman Dubie

Worlds are being told like beads,
Tiny drops of story,
Polished to a shine,
And fashioned to perfection.

Fiction and non-fiction,
Images and moments.
Whole worlds for our exploration -
From a few lines
To thousands of words.

They are launched to sail,
Through time and space,
A bridge from us to the future,
To other times and people.
