~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

[Coyote Poetry]

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.

Much appreciate your visit lola :-)

I see the promiscuous need to dance a ballet due to overwhelming joy. What I wouldn't do to know that feeling of disconnection from reality; a mortal euphoria right before the chasm of circumstance steps in.

[Frieda P]

Wow Tai, I like your review better than my poem!

[kublakhan27]

I swear I'm gonna take dance lessons one of these days cuz of you Mrs.R ;P

[Frieda P]

You're on twinkle toes! ;-)

[kublakhan27]

I wonder if there's a connection between being left-handed and having two left feet ;)

[Rita L. Sev]

Every word you write dances, Frieda!

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...

It is indeed wise to see where the poetry is not, and seek the sonnets of harmony where you can. Beautiful piece!

[Frieda P]

Oh best compliment ever if you think my words dance! Thanks so very much Rita.

[Acucena G.]

[Frieda P]

That title! Damn you're good! I must ask what does "zephyrs" means? It's word caught me. I have only kind words to speak of this piece, for your concepts quench my thirst for originality and yet still leave me wondering. Beautiful piece, the inclusion of technical poetry language gives this poem another dimension to think about, and I am always fascinated by those who write about writing. You make like 'words' by Edward Thomas. One of my favourites!

[Frieda P]

Damn I love your review! Zephyr is a very light waft, like a mere whisper of a breeze, I just love the word itself! Thanks so much Willow, always appreciate you on my page...!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Nice piece as usual Frieda and poetry does affect us, and should, else it has no meaning!

[Frieda P]

Exactly my friend, thanks so much John.

[Sami Khalil]

If poetry was a lady she will envy you and if poetry was a man he will kiss you and if poetry was us we will celebrate you...Gracie for penning...:)

[Frieda P]

Well that just about wraps everybody up now Sami, Grazie bello :-)

[Sami Khalil]

Gracie bello...:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i really would like to get to that point...just writing sonnets of harmony...

all this chaos in our lines...all of this pent up passion or venting of disappointment and anger...
unease is the verse we make now...but to get to this place in your poem...


what a wonderful thought.

[Frieda P]

I so agree, and I have no clue how to write a sonnet, just so you know ;-)
