inaudible hum

poetry saves the day

confronting seditious stress

(forcing it to have an out of my body experience)

my tongue traces the shores of imagination

its only barrier the softly contoured perimeters of my mind

burgeoning images dangle before my eyes

            expanding

                        curving

                                    falling into one another

elliptical filaments of silk ‘neath a sensual rainstorm

slowly logic loses its grip

i breathe in the gentle perfume of pure poetry

insurgent stress runs off to a faraway realm

then turns to watch as i glide

on a nearly inaudible hum of passion

kissing my naked soul

Gentle, beautiful and hopeful poetry dear Lydia.
"i breathe in the gentle perfume of pure poetry
insurgent stress runs off to a faraway realm
then turns to watch as i glide
on a nearly inaudible hum of passion

The above lines. Amazing. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Poetry relieves stress whether reading or writing it! Thank you so much, John. Happy Thanksgiving to you! Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

Happy Thanksgiving Lydia and you are welcome.

Funny how reading poetry affects many of us. Yet in so many different ways we will explain the same passage. Valentine

[Lydia Shutter]

Once the words are on the page, it is up to the reader to interpret them, Valentine. It matters little what the poet's intention was while writing the words. I always appreciate your reviews. Lydi**

[Lydia Shutter]

i breathe in the gentle perfume of pure poetry, on a nearly inaudible hum of passion -- I see the passion in your words and thrust in your soul for writing poems. You're genius Lydi** with all your words :)

[Lydia Shutter]

Lydi** You're special and welcomed always :)

[andrew mitchell]

Lydia your writing is like taking in another universe, gentle, inspiring soft with that magical tinge of sensuality permeating the imagery.

[Lydia Shutter]

Thanks so much, Andrew. Lydi**

[Kelly Scheppers]

Wow, this is indescribable, followed closely by phenomenal! I love everything about it...especially reading it out loud, over and over again.

I think perhaps you've outdone yourself, Lydi...if that, "in a faraway realm", is possible!

My best,
Kelly

If only, my friend, if only. Thanks for the review. Lydi**

Lydia, are you sure you're breathing in this poetry. Quite like the idea of sensual poetry being read to me. Like your poem a lot.

[Lydia Shutter]

Yup, always breathing! :) Thank you for your review. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Poetry, reading and writing it, can be therapeutic. What a lovely way of expressing it.

[Lydia Shutter]

Absolutely....for me it is part of living every day. Thank you so much. Lydi**

[Robert Haigh]

Reading poetry is indeed a relaxing pastime. From Shakespeare's sublime sonnets to Bukowski's hard-edged realism, I love reading poetry. Your poems are good to read too, Lydia. This is a fine specimen!

[Lydia Shutter]

The fact you would mention my poetry in the same sentence as Bukowski and Shakespeare just made my day. Thanks so much, Robert. Lydi**
