The ME in poetry…?
Sorry all…this site won’t let us “center” our work which this form requires….when centered it takes on a lovely triangle and a double has a lovely kind of diamond shape appearance. Hope you enjoy…it’s me in metaphor and simile. ^_^
DESERT FLOWER (Double Reversed Etheree)
Copyright © By Pamela Jane Tennant 01/28/2005
A
seedling
planted in
fertile soil, will
blossom in rich life.
But it is the seedling
the wind carries to hard, dry
desert soil, that can take root, to
bloom glorious in breathless beauty.
So too, the human soul, planted within;
within life’s barren, untended garden….
Blossoming in strong petal-ed splendor
nurtured by Divine providence
against all the humbling odds
growing in stately grace,
in winsome beauty,
from desert soil
flourishing.
This is
me.
Painting with words what a wonderful gift you have.
They can also make us think, laugh, or cry. The book The Need for Words says: “Poetry is often nothing more than words organised to have a high, sudden impact. That’s partly the reason why great poems . . . are unforgettable in every way.”
Beautiful poetry is rarely the work of a shallow mind. Poetry has a long association with what matters most in life—relationships, love, spirituality, nature, and the meaning of life. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that poetry is one of the oldest art forms. Comparing poetry with prose (ordinary written language), one famous poet said that if both described the same thing and were equally well written, “the verse will be read a hundred times where the prose is read once.”
As you may have noticed, however, poetry takes many different forms. It may rhyme, or it may not. Sometimes it even seems to border on prose.
