A Jubilation of Quietude

A Jubilation of Quietude

 

 

 

sated in this humble abode

witness to rivulets of rain

minuscule orbs,

falling

plummeting

trickling  downward

into translucent pools

from a windows chill,

arresting my gaze  

my ardent stare

with a jubilation of quietude.

Beautiful imagery. This is serenity for the soul.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Thomas! Much enjoyed your visit!

I love how the title calls us to this blissful place... quiet... it is not a sound I am familiar with much anymore... my head is so full of sounds... screams... here the raindrops cleanse the soul... and carry us into a place of perfect peace. Thank YOU.

[Kelly Scheppers]

What a thrill it is to find that other poets feel that cleansing of the soul the rain can give. You worded it so definitively, Craig...thank you!

[redzone]

"quietude", what a perfect word for watching and listening to the rain. It is often the place where dreams are made, and in this case, poems are created. Very nicely done Kelly

It does perfectly match, doesn't it? I've added it to my list of never used words that my teacher never asked me to use in a sentence! Thanks so much, Curt!

[Sapphus]

A Lovely array of words. Artfully said.

I think om gonna keep this one in my happy place. Unfortunately for me my happy place is when I've got my thinking head on, so I'll just keep it in my favourites for now until I can download it directly into my head! 😃

Stunningly beautiful, the way you represent one of the most common experiences in nature; taking it and turning it to a poetic sacrament offering the mind and body peace. I enjoyed. F.
