Fulcrum

Katauta

Albeit stand lorn
Endure test of time, by the
abiding aid of divine.

I thought I knew what "fulcrum" means, but your poem pushes me to consider it in different ways! Most poets are not as good as you are, delivering one solid idea in a very short poem, which reverberates in the reader's mind to produce much more than appears on the page (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you for reading my mind beautifully Margie dear, I do feel, repetitive narration sometimes looses effect of the idea that I am trying to convey. (But some concepts do need that long winding expressions, when it occurs naturally, it sounds beautiful). I hope you are done with your gardening for now and all set for spring. Tudo de bom para você Querida. Um beijo.

Watching seeds sprout and grow,
to the Mother Nature's magic show
you got a seat in the front row !

[barleygirl]

Always love your bright shining verse
meaning is pumped tho words are terse
your wisdom tends to balance my mirth!

This is very well written and very well put together. I enjoyed this

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you very much for the lovely review.

Writing short poetry is something I find really difficult, but that you always seem to achieve with a masterful touch. I particularly like the internal time/divine rhyme; it's so tempting to rhyme only at the end of the line, and your divergence from this is well crafted

[Mrudula Rani]

Thank you Patrick for Your brilliant perception and comments. I hope all is well with you.

If I should ever have a poem written for me.. it would surely have to be one of these katauta love poems my sensai used to talk to me about ... N :)

[Mrudula Rani]

I hope you don't mind if I write one for you.

[Neville]
