Joy

A woman's complete happiness.

The door flings wide

Ecstasy

She flies from the porch

A blue cotton-clad blur

Chestnut locks streaming

Tossed recklessly in the breeze

A light-hearted laugh for all the countryside to hear

A tranquil morning infused by imagined melody

Pure joy, simple rapture

Deep molasses eyes spy only one thing

Shredded uniform, bloodied feet

Haggard shell of a man

Still he shines like the sun

nicely written

Missed you, I have not seen anything new from you in a while? So I thought I'd dig into some of your older stuff. As always, great write!

Wow. Beautifully written. So simple and incredible at the same time. It creates the image step by step which is quite amazing. The scene gradually unfolds and we get to know the tiny details in each of them. Loved each line! :)

Wow I love this. It truly embodies everything that a poem should, beauty, meaning, a tiny slice of life put into perspective. And it's so enjoyable to read!
