    A Confession: Part Two

    Midway through my life, I cannot go on. Middle of a winter storm, too blind to trek on.   The struggle of having to embrace psychosis, has been very painful, rendering me blind.   Blind and deaf to a world that rejected me, blind and deaf...

    A Confession

    The morbid hue of death awaited uswhen I made that last promise to you.Vanity! I already sensed the vanity,that delicate moment when our trust lived. For the life of me, however, I don't know why.Why I let go, why I...

    • I’m hugely impressed with your understanding of poetic element.
      So, you are Richard the Rascal. Let me put that down. This is another amazing piece with emphasis on personification and symbolism. There’s obviously a metaphorical significance to the changing season, specifically fall to winter. It’s interesting to note that while you give leaves many characteristics of humans in this piece, they lack the unique capacity for understanding… at least, that’s the perspective of the speaker. Your final stanza is a fantastic summation.

      This is top shelf material, Richard.
      xoxo

      • Graciously spake, Dear Poetess🥂

        Your coaxing words are sweet as honeysuckle to a hopeful bard’s susceptible ear … most especially, from one so poetically accomplished and sophisticated as yourself.
        A few devices I tend to favor are color, texture, analogy, simile, and nature … I’m so pleased you’ve recognized their presence in this rather poignant little piece.

        Thank you ever-so warmly, Lady DK, for your always welcomed accolades! ⁓ Richard the Rascal🖌

    • Hi, M’Good Friend! ✌🏼

      How great it is, Tim, to be greeted here with one of your appreciatively expressed and inspiringly encouraging reviews, that always seems to grasp my poetry’s core essence.
      Yes, like You, I tend to enjoy a good dose of metaphoric imagery in my pieces.

      Thank you, Syr, for enjoying this rather sad Free Verse piece! ⁓ Rascal🖌

      PS: On your recommendation, I had to check the site out … do you know how one edits their poetry?

    • This is a beautiful telling of what one feels towards another.

    • Wow! You’re a Wordsworth Rascal! Damn, you know how to melt a heart, don’t you? I’m a rhyme and meter girl with much of my poetry, so I appreciate the elegance of this piece despite its lack of contemporary appeal. The message is anti-materialistic and wholly wholesome with a massive slice of humility. You’re slipping in that age factor, that timeless long-lasting relationship that so many country songs emphasize.

      It’s worth a roll in the hay any day, Rascal. Put a daisy in my hair.

      xoxo

      • My, oh-MY, Lady-Poet 🌻
        What a lucky coincidence that I just happened to come upon a little daisy this morning while strolling along, imagining someone whose lovely hair it might grace, of what it might lead to, of whom….er, I seem to have (somehow) wandered-off into fantasyland. 😌
        Damn, yourself … you’ve quite a knack for inspiring your own rising stimulations⁓*
        Yes, M’Lady, how unfortunate such a huge, powerful, and beautiful expanse of poetry has become ignored and limited to talking/prose (not really poetic prose) in the erroneous name of contemporary advancement … what a shame to watch thw art and depths of poetic skill dwindle to a trickle. Ahhh, I could soapbox your lovely ears off … LOL!

        How sweetl to be so completely grasped … and, mmm, what a lavish bouquet of thought you’ve inspired … right side or left? ⁓ Rascal🖌

    • This is one of my favorite subjects, its a poem of sweet sincerity..
