Secret grotto ~

_a friend asked me to write a poem for this graphic she found, there you go Pam....hope you enjoy.

There is a secret grotto

 that nobody knows exists

sunlight dawns vividly

 gleaming each enchanted day, 

piquant pretty peachy plum posies

 dance freely

steams of consciousness 

   reign in purple razzmatazz bliss,

shamrock lawns soak in the sun

   within a dandelion's twist 

playful tree houses dream 

in technicolor's butterfly whimsy,

supernova moon pays a visit to glean

      the shocking ruby skyline

sepia earth views the world in

     flawlessly hue'd synthesis,

rainbows float glinting out to sea

      in sapphire infused harmony,

as poetry pours from the skies 

in cobalt desired musings

WOW Frieda... your poem is enchanting and breath taking... everything is there... music, whimsy, vibrant colors, and most importantly, the amazement of "poetry pouring from the skies"!!! It is a wonderfully rich and textured poem kinda like a chocolaty flavored truffle with strawberry cream... anyway, I think it luverly!!! ~~redzone

[Frieda P]

WOW yourself, that's my first time for a review of 'chocolate flavored truffles with strawberry cream...doing the happy dance! And now I want dessert too. My friend said she was tired of all my dark work, wanted something 'lite' as she put it...hopefully the strawberry essence of your review will convince her...grazie mille! xo

Your words depict this graphic beautifully, Frieda! I hope this was as much fun for you to write as it was for me to read!

[Frieda P]

It actually was great fun to write this one, thanks muchly Rita!

Sometimes it is nice to imagine there is something else out there and we can escape. Long before I discovered Trent Reznor, and way before the movie NIMs Island, I called mine the land of NIN. I have been meaning to post my drawings. Maybe I should. You have inspired me once again.

[Frieda P]

Definitely need an escape, especially in light of this dark week that passed. I'm waiting, so luverly when you can inspire another poet.

Thanks so much for this glowing review Sophy, she was pleased with it, and wants to go now :)

What an appealing playful moment as a grotto refers to a cavern associated with history modern or ancient essentialy a human thing I should know my Dad way of reading bedtime stories was to talk about history. I know that explains a lot , I beat you to it. But in here we find an image that relates more to the wish and desires for magical realities and enchanting allegories. No escapisms sensed at all as it is sometimes used. Only beauty, goodness and who knows even truth?

Thankyou

[Frieda P]

What, no green eggs and ham, you're no fun....? Thanks Rene.

[Frieda P]

Thanks John, I would have until you wrote that cheeky humdinger this afternoon....you're on your own now...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha just thoughts that become words joined by association and not really aimed at thee my Lady

[kublakhan27]

I was going to say that you never fail to surprise, then I thought, wait, nothing you do surprises me anymore...your talent is limitless and your creative well is seemingly bottomless...you know I usually try to give an extensive review, but sometimes you just leave me speechless...you've really accomplished everything there is to accomplish in a poem here...I'll never know how you do it...xo

[Frieda P]

Wish you could see my face, smiling from here to your distant shores :) xo

[kublakhan27]
