Emi.. you issued a challenge to write a poem using the first line of your poem.. here's mine:

 

 

Love is the pain I built in myself

And sad as it is to lose your love

I think it’s better to have known

Two hearts beating together

Rather than just one, all alone

 

Tennyson¹ said it perfectly

And love is a wonderful thing

After all that we’ve been through

I’ve been lucky, that I know cuz

Love is the joy I built with you

 

 

 

¹ Tennyson's famous line was: Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

It's lovely, Tim. Tennyson (and his love, Arthur) would be proud of this one. Bravo.

I agree with Dugh that the cinquain is lovely, but I am especially drawn to the longer poem. I left you a review.

Tim posted a couple of beautiful Haiku today. I hope you have a chance to check them out

Such a pleasure to read all the poetry.. You all are so wonderfully talented and most times I'm lost for ways to express myself but I love it..

I just typed the final poem from my notebook for my 20th year. Turns out it's another lost Ross poem. Kinda sad to find it and have to 'wade in' again... What do you think of it?

 

 

Prelude:

 

Stay away

so I can't think of you

so I can’t remember your face

your subtle face

stay away

I don’t want you in my space

with your perfect grace

Stay away

 

 

Poem:

 

Your manner to say

is grace perfected

a passion by day

of night, daydream-reflected

 

You haunt me still the same

you and your sublime face

and yet who can I blame

to see such godly grace

 

 

Postlude:

 

It's painful, to see

how grand you are

and not let you know

The entry is indeed a sad one, and reminds me of scratching at a wound, knowing it will hurt, knowing it won't make it better, but picking at it just the same. If only them wound weren't so damn present to me...This is a brilliant evocation of that experience.

[Parker Owens]

My students were all taking exams today.  Some haiku observations...

 

Fierce concentration,

brow furrowed, bottom lip bit:

examination.

 

Glazed, tired eyes wander,

seeking some divine guidance:

nasty integrals.

 

Countenance brightens,

clever fingers calculate,

solutions beckon.

 

Feverish writing,

time running ever shorter,

ended by the bell.

These are evocative enough to make me glad I don't ever have to be a student again

Thanks, Parker. This poem is written hastily on the page, and there are many cross-outs. It's was hard to read, and even harder to know I was suffering for him in silence.

Oh this is so sad.. for you both. The poem is wonderful but sad. You like him, want him, yet push him away and I know he didn't push back.

Well said, Tim...exactly right...

Yes, I hate to say it too, but Tim is exactly right. That's part of what makes my present-day relocation of Ross so uncomfortable. Poor Ross

That was a wonderful poem Tim. As my poem sounds like pain and misery, your's given some what a life to it. It is really that beautiful...

The pain, which I am aware of, has been showed so perfectly here. No one, not even a great poet, can show it better than this. It may relate not more than this. Thank You for sharing this. And sorry you have to dealt-in with that pain again for us.
