• This is my Free verse

    Do you hear the sun?
    As the rays beat down on the ground,
    It is subtle but poignant
    It’s purpose is to burn.
    The exquisite heat,
    does not match the coolness in your eyes

    Do you smell the wind?
    Multicolored in its complexity
    Surrounds you,
    Invades your very core.
    It gives you life.
    Then withdraws to take your b…Read More

    • Beautifully imagined, Fia, an excellent effort!
      Deserves a VERY strong title!

      ISSUES TO CONSIDER:
      1. Unnecessarily Capitalizing every line, which tends to confuse when one complete line, thought, etc; begins or ends, effectively stumbling the flow, attention, and overall magical smoothness of a poem’s captive spell.
      2. Poetic voice … how a poe…Read More

    Love Sonnet LXVIII

    Love Sonnet LXVIII   If I wrote you a poem, would you hear me? Would you read me, swallow my metaphors, kiss my similes into oblivion? I only   have words to offer, words filled with allegories, stories of how the moon holds my haiku, hoping to be next...

    • hello dearest poet this is so beautifully written brimming with feeling and the gift of writer ❤️

      • Crimsin, thank you for your kind words on this poem. I am happy you found the ‘beauty’ and ‘feelings’.

    • “…splashing alliteration on the pages of your heart.” My, my, how poetically defined! I love your sonnets. What a gift you have of writing them!

      • Hi Kelly, you know I always love when I see you commenting on one of my poems. Thank you for ‘splashing’ some words on my poem.

        As you can see, this is sonnet number 68, only 32 more to go. Then I will publish them as a tribute to Pablo Neruda.

        I hope you are doing well. I must get over to WC soon and see if you posted some more poems there.

    • Your love Sonnets are like flowers… each has its own sweet scent, beauty and allure. This is gorgeous.

    Piano Cello Interludes

    Piano Cello Interludes   I am listening to music, piano with cello interludes, thinking about you. I hear the passionate sadness mourning from the cello as the piano weaves hollowness and melancholy from black and white minor keys. I feel the disconnect between the requiem’s movements and the reality of an alive,...

    A Voice In The Darkness

    I shall not forget the moment the light died. The glow of the candle pinched. The stout wick breathes out a fluttering string in defiance of death.   But it was time to die. It was time to breathe to death. What do we all think, When...
