Heavenly Odyssey

Light and airy,
sparkling, bright!
That's the theme
to bring delight!

Sweet and tasty,
luscious too!
Choicest words
that ought to do!

Blithesome, rosy
full of glee
Loveliest 
of poetry!

Sun kissed, moon blessed
Heavenly
Every line
an odyssey 

Love and romance
Chivalry 
Rhythms about 
Love's destiny

Playful, dreamy
Whimsy lore
Heart's own quest:
Devote, adore!

Poets, readers
Loved ones, all
Listen to
the muse's call

Follow swiftly,
travel far
Lose yourself
Twirl on a star

Pretty, fancy
Dulcet chimes
You will find
in minstrel's rhymes.

Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 2/22/2025 12:53:00 AM Glad I could make you smile. To be honest, I wrote this as a challenge to myself.

I'm in the depth of despair, but...just goes to show how you can project what you want. I'm trying to focus on light and airy poems, the last couple have been...well, dark.

I'm sending you bright thoughts :) - hugs Login to Reply Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 2/21/2025 4:32:00 AM :) <3 Eileen Manassian Date: 2/21/2025 2:27:00 AM Changed that stanza. Thanks for the input. :) Eileen Manassian Date: 2/21/2025 2:18:00 AM Hi, dear. I'm sorry you thought it ended darkly. I tried my best to write a happy rhyme so I won't lose followers here. Shall I remove the stanza before the last?
