~Dancing in Winds of Poetic Embrace

Wind at my back, held in its embrace

zephyrs with an old familiar, intrinsic face

swaying to tousle my disillusioned locks

stood at the precipice to surrender the fray

peculiar compositions of asymmetrical stanzas

I stared into the chasm's eye of cloudy disdain

realizing there was little of verse for me there,

you brought me sonnets of harmony instead

sun's allusion glitzed a gleam through the flurry

I wantonly danced to the rhythm you released

I love how you use words. Bringing the reader into strong emotion and create thoughts and visions with powerful lines. I like the description in this poem. Good to dance with words. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

thats how I feel reading a Frieda poem. Not exactly sure what you mean or what you are putting out there but you do it so well I'd be willing to accept anything

[Frieda P]

You make me smile Annabelle Lee...unreserved and with gusto...no holds barred. Still with me? Thanks!

"Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." - Carl Sandburg.

This poem sounds as if it could be put to music and we could spin and twirl around the dance floor to the tune. It doesn't matter if you have the rhythm or not, just dance. Very lyrical and very lovely.

This one has a nice, musical quality to it. It needs a beat and some rhythm guitar.

[Frieda P]

I've got a beat, do you play guitar?

[Ravyne Hawke]

I love when poetry is so luscious that it makes you want to dance. Your piece has that effect. Beautifully penned.

[Frieda P]

Ah yes, nothing better than dancing to get you out of your own head, thanks so much Lori.

When we find that different focus that allows us to dance it is a magical thing indeed. You have a very specific Poet's voice. You don't give a poem out easily (in meaning) I have to read your work and put thought to it. It is lush writing and a little cloaked at times, almost enigmatic. And always rich in word and meaning.

[Frieda P]

Wow TL, I was really moved by your words here, ha, funny i think the same of other poets, I guess we always know what we mean in our own heads, it seems clear, but then someone comes along and sees it through their own eyes and experience, I think that's the best part about poetry. Thank you so much.

This is sultry like a tropical breeze. It's beautifully free and inviting. Dance, always dance because we all make our own music.

[Frieda P]

Yes we do, and I'm so glad you enjoyed mine blue...
