I'm sure a therapist would have a ball analyzing my poetry. Some say the eyes are the mirrors to a person's soul, but since you can't see my eyes, I offer up my written words as testament to who I am and what I have lurking in the darkest recesses of my being. I seem to always be very closely connected to what the heart feels and how truly resilient it is. A person's healing capacity always amazes me...especially my own.This week's Words for Wednesday again brought me mental images of love and struggle, but also of somehow being a better more open person because of that pain and struggle. The words this week in which I wove a poem were:
Utopian
plagiarismnecktie
automatic
spinster
devout
OR
navigation
tribulation
propagation
explanation
sensation
adulation
She
had many days of Utopian love
Where
her heart’s plagiarism was written proudly With many empty, unanswered "I love you’s"
A stabbing sensation to be broadcasted loudly.
Love
at first sight was the automatic explanation
For
adulation on love’s battle field so goryShe was a decorated warrior, a lonely spinster
Upon whose chest she wore tribulation with such glory.
Although navigation along the sensual garden
path
Without propagation she was barren and deemed
quite emptyBut rich without love’s flowery neckties and glittery things
This devout spinster’s heart was resilient, pure and free.
Wow...nice job. One can be happy on one's own and that's a fact. There are more ways than one to love.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the truth but so many people feel as if they are without a partner it's a character defect or says something horrible about them. Not all of us are meant to love in that capacity or if we did, some of us have decided to take a time out due to all the pitfalls that type of love can have.
DeleteAmazing! And you managed to use all of them! I am in awe! My poem ended up being similar in vein. Must be the day!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike!
DeleteThat's an interesting use of the words.
ReplyDeleteThanks and I really enjoyed reading your story.
Deletethanks for visiting me. I like this poem and you used the words wisely. Very good. Now I'm going to comment on your previous post. Gone Girl caught my eye
ReplyDeleteAnd I really enjoyed the photos you posted on your blog....thank you for commenting and I hope you'll visit me again soon.
DeleteNicely done! People who can write poetry amaze me.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's so nice to see such a positive comment about poetry and the people who attempt to write it. I always have thought most people find poetry to be boring and instead of reading it when someone posts a poem, they just blow right through it and go to the next thing that catches their eye. I might be wrong and it may just be my insecurity showing its blushing face, but based on the past very few people usually comment when I write a poem so I take it as meaning either they think the poem sucks and are too gracious to say so or poetry just isn't their cup of tea and they move on to something that does interest them.
DeleteGreat job! I tried to compose this week's words and got stuck clear up to the axles --you must have a 4-wheel-drive brain. My compliments and admiration!
ReplyDeleteNo 4-wheel drive for me...I float on the river of words provided instead of trying to drive through them.
Delete"A Resilient Heart" is such an excellent title for your very thoughtful poem.
ReplyDeleteI loved your blog post, Utopia. After reading it I took a 60 minute spin around the blogosphere and decided that was enough insanity for one day.
DeleteI only analyze for cash.
ReplyDeleteSmart man!
