My Muse

In the solitary cell i dwell basked in the morning glory gazing through the casement bright feasting on the pulchritude eyes behold the rugged trunk flowers blooming like a shrug with each branch a story to spare abode to birds and beast alike huge as a giant with shadow spread finding solace in its calming shade my muse that creates an urge to jot to hearts content the minds plot. © Nadiya (21 Jan '15) *Won 4th place on 7 Feb 2015 in the contest 'Ekphrasis' by Rick Parise.

Hello Nadiya!! This one is an instant "7" + FAV from me for three reasons: (1) It's direct, demonstrative, and quite enchanting with its message; (2) You use the word ("Pulchritude") which happens to be one of my seasoned favorites on occasion; and (3) You mentioned "Muse" which ventures into my first book of poetry which just hit the street! In fact, I wrote at poem called: "When Our Poetry Muse Beckons," in my book at page 154 (old version posted on PS last year). Spill Ink! Best Wishes, Gary

Your gift for beauty, especially in words, is laudable, Nadiya. Excellent poem! Have not seen the word "pulchritude" in use before; I studied Latin, and "pulchra" means beautiful, so I take it that here it means beauty! #7 // paul
