September ~ for Nicolette

Missing image

 

 

 

 

She dances

within the spiral

of crisp Autumn leaves,

whispering ~ 

the chill is well on its way.

Breathe deeply ~

harvest the depths of your heart

& weave your words

into blankets of beauty.

Remember how it feels

to warm your hands

in front of a crackling fire.

Be ready

to make snow angels fly ~

offer gratitude for life


& settle in

to wait

for the infinite blooms

of Spring.

Her Winter is my Summer,

yet we sway together

across this broad horizon ~

we laugh until we cry,

we cry until we laugh.

Somehow,

our fingers touch.

This is the first poem I've written in 8 days. Wouldn't you just know it?
It was my 2 dearest Sisters of the Soul who
lifted my wings & inspired me, yet again.

Love you, Woman. Both of ya.



While I do not think that I would win, please do NOT give me the gold.
I have been ill & will not be here for awhile, nor do I have the energy to do another contest right now ~
I just finished holding two recently.
Thank you for the opportunity to write yet another poem for my beautiful Friends.

    For crying out loud ...

    we laugh until we cry,
    we cry until we laugh.
    Somehow,
    our fingers touch.
    _______

    One heart feels finger tapping
    deep spring of wisdom wide,
    one heart feels finger mapping
    bright spirit from inside,

    One heart beat’s finger beckons
    beyond both time and space,
    one heart one finger reckons
    calm, balm and saving grace.

    One heart, one finger, giggle
    together in traced hug,
    each interlaced reach wriggle
    as snug as bug in rug.

      Hardly, my Friend. I just read yours. I would have given it the gold, as well. I'm glad you enjoyed mine. It was from the heart, as it was for my dear Friend Nic. Yours is the purest form of poetry, which comes only from the heart & soul. Congratulations, Lady. Wanda

    Sister Souls and such a dance it is, where arms are always open (unless already wrapped around you) and hearts listen, building barricades against pain and planting cornflower sky in all the dark crevices inside. And when you look, you say, "YES! I have always known you...what took you so long?"

    Butterfly wings, here, to brush a soft kiss of heart. Lovely.

    Wow. Something so beautiful, so charming...and so simple to read. I really think that you are an amazing poet, though I don't believe that I've ever read you. The emotion in this piece was really quite remarkable. I enjoyed reading this piece, and I think you deserve a trophy. Great job. All the best!

    You could not have picked a better title, I think, the blend of seasons and relationships is wonderfully enhanced by your lovely imagery. It is a blessing, seeing your poem, it is a delightful thing, to have such good friends in these two poets, and everyone should have such accepting and challenging interactions. The tribute to these two could never be understated, both offer so much, one can see that in their works – the three of you are an amazing trio and i hope your songs never cease.

    Blessings and best wishes,

    ~richard

    "we laugh until we cry,
    we cry until we laugh.
    Somehow,

    That is so beautiful, Vlindertjie...and you know what I appreciate the most about this poem (apart from the fact that you once again caused me to break down and then lifted me in the same breath).. is the fact that you haven't been well lately and here you are writing this poem for me... You are a wonderful, wonderful friend and really my sister of the soul. Thank you, thank you... if only you know how much I adore what you did, how much I value you as a friend . Love you, my sister - you are simply the best!!!

    ~ Nicolette

    Ah yes . . . not only your fingers, but your hearts as well. Over the last year and a half I have come to love you both, not only for the beauty of your poetry but also for the warmth and kindness you have provided me with on lonely Winter nights.

    Bravo

    This is so lovely, an enchanting poem which has all the effect of a mystical, magical haiku which is, somehow, longer than it its 17 syllables...Bravo... Bravo... Bravo....

    "Be ready
    to make snow angels fly ~"
    Snow angels are so inspiring. I think because using our own bodies we can create an angel. Apparently Nicolette and Shewolfnative are very inspiring as well!
    This whole poem is beautiful. I'm so happy to read a new one by you!
    Big hugs!

    Stunning! Imagery as beautiful as the words, my friend. Penned from heart's ink, and pressed upon this page for all of us to "spiral" in.
    "harvest the depths of your heart
    & weave your words
    into blankets o beauty...."
    You have done just that, dear one. This speaks so eloquently, and with such love. *reaches for another kleenex....sniff, sniff.....* Heartwarming. Simply Superb!! Brava! So ggod to see you penning again, and what better way to be inspired.
