Gedicht: Kwaststrepen op linnendook | Anske Smit
KWASTSTREPEN OP LINNENDOOK
Skreppe, klauwe, treeride
Streekride, út it eend sotte.
De klankkleur fan
In earste slach fan in lik bôrn
Efter in stultjen of slide.
Om de echte streek
Te pakjen te kriien.
Jûnge stylisten
Beworkje it iis
As kwaststreepen
Op in linnendook.
Priis of preemje
Blieuwt tûzjoers de fraich.
Warbere wintermannen
Mei weargles en
Skoewboarden yn tou.
Baske glodde baentjes
Op it Yselmor,
Yn de haivenkom,
De Sylroede of de Yndyk.
Pûiermôlken
So no en den.
Ride, beljeie op
Befôrzen iikonisje
Raffeliche ynhammen.
Stikjes iis útseeke
Tróch maanse earstelingen.
Yn in feaniche
Earste en twadde plasse
Fan de Stoenckerne,
Wur yn it förjier bremstiche,
Leepen, skreesen en teitjes
Tredje yn it blaue gers. -
