I’ve published several poems over the years, many of which were written as responses to postings by, or comments of, various friends on WordPress. Here are a few examples…
Title of Post With Link: “Have You Any Idea?”
Poetess: Holly Hunter
Stretched thin, the fragile fabric of joy and pain that hearts impart, as time turns blue skies and fields of green into dark, dank, dirt covered floors of doorless chambers, wherein despair resides and trust finds no foundation, no hope to reunite, a silver lining strains to reveal itself, growing in steps to cast reflections glowing with life, breathing into a future the light to love once again.
Title of Post With Link: “Motivação” (Portuguese, meaning Motivation)
Poetess: Carla Milho
One meter and a half
With passionate green eyes
Her name, Carla Milho
She’s beautiful and wise
Title of Post With Link: “Effervescent Presence“
Poetess: Michele Lee
If poetry were chance
And dreams were raised within
My money’s on Michele
A heart flush, penned to win
Title of Post With Link: “Poem with Video” – *
Poetess: Annabel
It is your exquisite natural beauty, kind heart, depth of character, and friendship, dear Annabel, which propels my pen to put poetry on paper.
Title of Post With Link: “Cades Cove“ – *
Poetess: Holly Hunter
Yours is the sweetness
In dreams late at night
The sugar I crave
On top adds delight
Title of Post With Link: “Snow, Sonoran Style“
Poetess: Michele Lee
Glowing at the golden hour with pollen in Papago Park, donning cowboy boots, you are as beautiful as spring blossoms in the desert, beaming in the light of life and love.
