Paradise
A Poem by
Allen Smuckler
....a little slice of paradise...to restart the engine..:)
Osprey flood-pathed
junctures
in the
middle
of Paradise.
Overexposed and diluted
by the
sounds
of the missing heartbeat
and the
loneliness
of the beakless egret
we all feel.
The expression of
the sunlit
reflective pool,
for the
paradise
we know and sense
and understand.
Not quite at the
end of
earth,
but almost.
While the ball
of fire
exposed and
diminished,
flourishes to the
very end., and
awakens on the beaches
of Casey Key,
toward the dusk of
the beautiful day
in paradise…
I smile

Your rating is not high enough, better fix that 100/100 for being talented and for being a good friend. On a serious note, I like how you are inspired by simple things in nature, you make even more amazing and real. :)

This was wonderfully written, you do have a way of making your poems come alive so to say.
With the picture you have painted in my mind, I am feeling very tranquil/relaxed right now. Makes me want a margarita, ;)

I enjoyed the field trip in your words. I like the peace of a lonely place where you can find new friends to enjoy the peace. A very nice ending to a excellent poem.

What a tranquil feeling to be near the end of the earth with the setting of the sun and peaceful waters
