    mostly softness to be pondered

    A couple of short ones to ponder


    A fallen Tree
    I saw a tree within the woods
    With purple leaves and rings
    Laid out 'neath brush and thorns;
    'Twas so sad for me to see -
    this fallen tree.
    Gifts we Have
    See the gold within the blue,
    And the silver in the clouds;
    Cry not for me, nor for you --
    For the gifts we have, will do.
    The Summer Sun
    The doves were winging on the breeze,
    As cherubs sang in unison.
    Smiles blessed the pastel skies…
    While we welcomed the summer sun.
    Kindness can be Found
    Look not to clouds of gray
    to take your blues away, 
    But to the winds, within the dale -- 
    For kindness there prevails.
    Love Has Come to Stay
    Coldness was my friend, and blue my color ruled.
    This is not the plume of yester hour, nor remnants
    of my laurels parted;
    Blending days of warming, 'tween the shadows gray  
    Heart of mine be still…for love has come to stay,
    Here within me guarded. 
    Time
    How the days do slippeth away -
    Minutes, uncaring, trickling, 
    like the tiniest beads of dew - 
    dripping, so slowly from blooms.
    So goes my life in hours of sand.
    Oh, how I wish --- 
    I wish, they would stay…
     
    Morning Sun
    Came rays of Sol upon the lea
    as saintly as a peacock's splay;
    Shown out across the fleur de lis
    in a sparkling jewelry display -
    I bowed to greet this wondrous day
    and sent the bleakness far away.
    A fallen Tree
    I saw a tree within the woods
    With purple leaves and rings
    Laid out 'neath brush and thorns;
    'Twas so sad for me to see -
    this fallen tree.

     

    Gifts we Have
    See the gold within the blue,
    And the silver in the clouds;
    Cry not for me, nor for you --

    You know, you should publish a book of these. They give good example, many times, of similes and metaphors. Students 10 to 15 years would enjoy that and benefit , as well.

    These are what I would call doodling. I can look at the sky in the morning and the words come so easily..........or, at a sunset and see colors that write a poem in my mind for me. There are times when I just enjoy putting my thoughts down in 4 or 5 lines of poetry. Thank you for your thoughts and words, Mandi...............................................................g

    I thank you kindly, my friend...............................................g

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
