Paradise

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

Allen, this was a vivid and well-detailed poem. Like Bradly said, I can taste the brine of the sea salt breeze! How can I tell you how much I enjoyed this? It is impossible, because you have such talent and use such bright and clear descriptions that I can picture paradise in my mind! Thanks for sending me this!
