Risen

Whole vibrant fantasies 

and

vast hellish landscapes

exchanged 

like a story

with expansive branches

to the dignity

of a homecoming

hearth 

golden fingertips 

caressing 

earth worms

rescinding

boldly stepping 

onto

the solid grounding

of a new day

I wonder why this has no comments? Just looks?
Seems to be the pattern here lately...unfortunately.
This poem is so descriptive and it introduces us to yet another day.
Here is a song I sent out to some friends today...coincidentally fits very well with this write.

Enjoyed the song and thank you. Unsure but haven't much worried or been concerned. If it resonates, great. Gets good feedback, that's appreciated. If it sits idle, that's okay, too. Sometimes I just write because it's just what I like to do :)

That was beautifully written. It shows the anticipation of a new say, the good and the bad, the pretty and the ugly that might come with it, but we must rise to the occasion and salute this new day, welcoming it with warmth!

'Solid grounding,' I quite like that; it sticks in the mind and stays in the consciousness. And I concur with Jacob when he says the lack of commenting is a rather unfortunate pattern, not only here but elsewhere as well. Over the years I realised that having 'too much of a good thing' can and does have a numbing effect, sort of like being doped up. I link that thought with the idea that most writers appear to like being read and given feed back but couldn't be bothered enough to do the same. It must be the nature of the creative process. But anyway. I ramble on. To start each day like this is to live a live that is bright and colourful. Thanks for sharing. /Frederick.

I generally write and read in turn. Maybe I could seek out more to read. It's less an intentional selfishness and more about life being beautifully full. Appreciate the feedback and suggestions and hoping you enjoy the day

Same. In the days before the internet and online poetry, I used to write almost exclusively as a result of living, it being “beautifully full” but the adjustment to other aspects of socializing also pressed in once social media established itself as a daily force and presence to reckon with. Suddenly everything was in your face at all hours. And that eventually affected the poetic process - almost like being forced onto a reality TV program, almost like the Truman Show. LOL. Now the give and take in online poetry is much of its own universe. Can’t say I’m fully used to it but have made the transition with a modicum of success. There is much room for growing still for my part.

Isn’t the growing part true of us all? Enjoy reading others. Still have a bit of life juggling is what a meant, with a positive spin. Mom life and all 🙂 it’s been nice getting to know you and look forward to socializing more
