Boldness of ink ~

prompted after a conversation within a review...

voice clearly purg'd though boldness of inky passages

         echoing that which most words cannot convey

pen cleanses the sins & fortifies the soul

          speaks in volumes of verbose spirit

     weeping in steaks of tearful metaphors,

  bloodied and effervescent on the page

trails of outpouring sentiment's reward

          & emotional trials that translate

               of transcribed tribulations, 

piercing the eye for all to see

   reflections smatter'd upon poetry 

 within redemption's freedom

            & salvation's reality

this could almost be a sequel to your other poem about sylvia.

she was so strong in her poetry, as she put it she would "eat men like air"

but in real life she played the subservient role she was expected to...and suffered much for it.

love the angst in your poetry...the sarcasm...you are so good at it, my friend.

You're too kind jacob, thanks so much.

[Rosalind Gale]

I agree with my friend Jacob, it is all the things I do love about poetry. Frieda, you are a gem, and a rare one at that. You are one of the half dozen to ten on this site that in my head I call the "the crystals." I sure do hope you are keeping well.

okay another excellent write...no really it is. however, I have a bigger issue. this was written back in mid April, not the usual productivity from you dear.....so sending you thoughts and hoping you get on your creative stick soon. miss frieda.

to cleanse and accept are such powerful tools if used the right way. Love the notion of the pen as the weapon of choice so to speak to lay down such true thoughts and emotions. You do this so well my friend and may your pen never run out of ink.

This is another beautiful piece Frieda. I am honored to be able to read such amazing work! :)

Hey Frieda,

Need I tell you again that your poetry is amazing!
I have been gone for a while and will be leaving again tres soon, but i'd thought i'd pop by and read a poem written by a friend :)

Well-Penned!

[Shirlena]

Yep, all that...poetry does all that and then some. It is in the instrument we use to create the beautiful tapestry you weave for us on the regular Frieda. When we enter your pages we have a place to go where we can receive adult enchantment. Your poetry is like Cirque de soleil on papyrus girl.

Oh! The boldness of ink! Perfect!!!

[Raymond Federle]

I tend to hold it all in as long as I can and squeeze all the inspiration out of it that's possible! :) Well done!

This really is a jewel from the darkness Frieda.
