Early Morn On The Old Farm

tomcat cat fast asleep
new house painted darkest of greens
old sun drenched low-weeping willow
young black dog awakens
eager dawn, stretches its new legs

her toys spread all about
Christmas tree, shining lights aglow
winter snow spread as a blanket
new morn, its gifts divine
laughter as she enters the room

I like it. And to think ... you've always known in your heart the rhythm of this format.

NEW LIFE

I saw her kiss your lips
Looked at me smug smile in place
Broken heart, shattered dreams, bruised ego
Running, falling, sobbing
Hate blooms, killing love, killing trust

Thank you my friend. Yes, but I have been so in love with rhyme, sonnets, romanticism, other poetry forms that my own created decades ago got little use or care from me. This one is certain great appeal and a certain level of challenge/artistic expression in its structure and possibilities.-Tyr

Totally awesome new creation my friend!!
One that reveals your already very fine poetic talents.
Now, could you add the date composed and which of three it represents? (1.), (2.) or (3.) ?
Definitely a top level poem in my opinion and one you should keep...

Musing a bit out loud- but if we could get our friend Abbey to compose one in this form, we would have three and
pose a triple threat to poetry ..

Pray I, This Is No Dream

she in her sexy skirt
my Dodge Charger, its baby blue
summer sun, beach sand burning hot
laughing, sunning, kissing
red rose, her soft, inviting lips

Only Child - Letting Go

Car packed full with her things
Prosaic content in contrast
To metaphysical thoughts
Four years seem unending
Small trash can in my trembling hands

Driving to the Woods of Maine

City fades in mirror
Rest-stop hordes a beastly past
Trees and ponds spring into view
Breathing slows, hands relax
I reach out for my lover’s thigh

She loves being a wall flower,

art painted into life's worn trails
sweet dreams casting passion's might

I like this one..... "life's worn trails" .... evoked an interesting emotion. Almost one of familiarity .... looking for the artwork on my own life trail.

That is beautiful, Robert.

[Abbey Marie]

Robert, I want to publicly thank you for inspiring me to write creatively with your enthusiasm and support.

I had written a tiny bit of poetry as a child, and then nothing more until that one Haiku written in Maine about 10 years ago. As I've mentioned, I once earned a living doing technical writing about computer software, and I am very comfortable in that genre. I hadn't thought that I could be creative in this way (or any way, truth be told).

Anyway, I am actually finding it to be fun! And it had the unexpected side effect of nudging me to look at my life on a very different level. On a deeper and also a more surface- observational level at the same time. Macro and micro, if that makes sense. Now I understand that isn't a side effect at all; it is actually what I think poetry is really all about.

Thank you my friend for your wonderful thank you note. It is I that must thank you for not only your friendship but also your support of my poetry and the beautiful inspiration thus given by the generous gift!
Especially so the many inspired poems that precious gift has led me to compose.....
Such kindness, poetic insight goes admirably well with your innate poetic talents that you having now fully found, can now share with the world my friend.

Where A Treasured Stream Was Found

May your cup fill and pen never run dry,
Sweet raindrops fall from your poetic skies.
You harvest verse-crops bountiful and new,
Happiness in blessed Life well treat you,
In heart, God, your light illuminate true
Your poems may come, tho a bit overdue.

STORMY MOMENTS


Pitter patter rain drops
Scattering over hood, windows
Thump, thump of wipers hypnotize
Sleepy eyes surprised, bright
Lightning, booming thunder, freshness

Young Love’s Fleeting Moments

First love in summer’s spell
fire, energy, passion abound
cherry red Mustang sleek and bright
back seat kisses rival
moonlit sky, sultry breezes, sighs

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Who is the person that can't find peace
Who is the person that can't find joy
Who is the person that can't find them self
Who is the person that can't find a toy

Sad is the day when someone is lonely
It really shouldn't be
They're only lonely in their mind
But their mind can set them free

Sad are people lonely among others
When there's lots of souls around them
They're surrounded by others but none are holy
To all of those they condemn

Such is life for many of us
We walk though it bravely without fear
For it us our own soul we should consider
And our own soul that shall not shed a tear

Posting this blog to inform those entering Dear Heart's new contest , which requires writing in my new poetry form Lind68868- as previously I had given no example of it when any of the three was done in rhyme.



This, Tragic As A Shakespeare Play,
Lind68868 Rhyme

heartache, she went away
pain gnawing knowing, this was it
we had said all there was to say
my bottom lip I bit
this, tragic as a Shakespeare play

Lind68868, (Rhyme)
Example (1.) a living scene written in - Rhyme.

29 words

Note-- Not for any contest, but given as an example of the new poetry form when done in, Rhyme..
A living scene,(not a dream) or (a comparative thought)because I experienced exactly that with the end of my first marriage.. Sad but true my friends...
And yes, because of the last verse it could also be classed in the "comparative thought" choice. However, the choice belongs to the author.
And I wrote it as- " a living scene", and in rhyme.

Note- I had to class this as a *Rhyme*, because Soup has no listing for my new poetry form, Lind68868.
I recommend using for syllable count verification this, the best one on the internet.
