Franklin's Farm

Franklin's Farm
To the Tutor





Franklin was a humble manboy
from the outback of Troy;
harvesting crops by day-
fathering children
in the bales of hay.

Children have grown in this lonely world
in such trifles

in that we are left
with

I M A G I N A T I O N.

Dearest Artists,

We have gotten stale, my precious ones;
spit out in disgust, tossed into the waste basket.
We are held in such contempt, my grey suns;
sucked through a cornstalk straw, a golden casket.


J o i n us Poets
into the circles of wits
or the satirical twits.

Your faithful student,

Ria Vero Benthil

Ahh, my muse has gone off and left me again...and left me dry. I have no witty, satirical comments for anyone this morning, I am afraid.
A beautiful photo, Ria...I love it, and I have added it to my collection.
And a very thought-provoking piece...especially for someone like me, with the kind of poetry I write. Am I "good enough"??

[Vria P Crow]

Dear Angel, you are human. It isn't me to say you are good enough. Thank you reading, sweetie! I'm so happy you loved the photo. I'm honestly just happy you loved the photograph :)

love,
ria

It's a question I ask myself every day...am I actually someone who ought to presume to write for the Lord?

[Vria P Crow]

write for everyone

Awesome writing, Congratulations

I think you are saying something very deep, something is hidden, and sewn deep within you.

[Kristin Lee]

Very bold statements in this one.....

[Ravyne Hawke]

You took that photo? That's pretty awesome :) I like to take photos of cloud formations I really like how they look

[Vria P Crow]

Thanks dear!

Ah, a nice, warm piece. :D I truly loathe rhyming themed poetry, but I was able to get through this, so that in itself shows it was a well-written piece. I liked the word use in this, I feel it helped pull out the meaning of the piece more thoroughly and really invoked the message of the poem into the reader. Well done. :D

[Vria P Crow]

I dont mind repetition as long as it's used properly, or cleverly. I use it in my writing.

[Vria P Crow]

Repeatition is still madness, my friend. However, it can be used for the powers of good. ;)

Once again a beautiful photo ! You have an exceptionally fine camera ability there, Ria.
And no, I don't think writers get stale or their works tossed into waste - for those of you feel you have lost your writing ability. I have a few simple words of advice.

Listen to your dreams, let them fill your quills, let them excite your write, let them pen your zen. :)
