    Descent Into Heaven - Lady of Sorrow

    “I don't feel pain, I don't feel alive, yet no angels in the bright moonshine.”   The lady of sorrow confided to herself aloud in a whisper. One so delicate, it could vanish like flying dust should she be loud.   But she was standing stoically at...

    hills to climb

    "hills to climb"     A figure counted once,standing where the verge breaks open.Word intact, meaning thinned,a marker left upright by habit alone.   Grass leans in, listening.Its tilt becomes direction,though the ground beneath itslides in its own quiet argument.   Your craft appears sideways—a pattern...

    • Nice.
      I was told ages ago that it’s a flaw in writing to give inanimate things the ability to do conscious things, like the grass leaning to listen, as if it knew to.
      Yet, I argued that in creative writing, comes a creative freedom to paint things in a different light. To give it that “as if”.
      That’s what makes it more interesting and even unpredictable.
      Well done poem here. I truly enjoyed it.

      • Took out the “as if” during the edit to tighten the line. It’s like jumping into coloured chalk floor paintings and let Mary Poppins take care of the rest. And yes, I was told that too. But then again poetic licence, freedom of speech and creative expression all say otherwise. Thanks for your much valued visit. Truly grateful for the word you left here as well. 🙏🕊️

    • Dear K,

      Even your summary waxes poetic. I enjoyed this piece because the inanimate had something to offer. It was a lovely image seeing and feeling the energy transfer from one thing to another throughout the write. Lovely piece. H🌷

      • Thank you, dear Honoria, for keeping that energy in transfer-flow. Now, even after the poem has rested from its reading a work it began continues on. Most appreciatively, K.
