Pages are falling, Words are floating down, away; Blood is dripping from my soul; Cannot take the pain, Of unkind words and sharp swords; The petals of my rose fold. Inside, I will dwell, Safe from all reality; Where I will not feel the stabs; I will dip my pen, And write poetry in blood; Oh, so broken is this heart. _______________________ January 8, 2016 Sedoka/I Will Fold My Petals Now Copyright Protected, ID 742429 Late Summer Contest Brian Strand Third Place

No matter the theme, there is only one word that I can say that describes your poetry, and that is 'beautiful' Golly, you have the gift of creating Gems, and they are Gems. I don't say this often, but there's a book, novel in you BW, close your eyes and find it please, for I'd buy it ~~ hugs//James xx ~~

Oh my Constance, you are absolutely the BEST at writing poems with a melancholy feel...I hope you don’t mind me using a line from one of my own poems but it DEFINITELY fits this gem: ‘Somehow I gain beauty from pain’...LOVE the reference to swords and blood in each verse especially...Happy 2016!! - Tim

Tim, thank you for that beautiful comment, I was once told that a true poet writes from their sorrow and if that is true, then I do ~

Sage, thanks for visiting, call it fantastic, I love that word, at the moment I am feeling great sadness, but I will use that sorrow in my writing, that is what I have always done, and oddly poems written in my own blood are my best....
