A Pristine Swan

Written: February 07, 2024 ___________________________________ It appears as if the world has been  coated by a wave of  deceitful dictums,   where faked reality   appears to be popular,  an appeal of mimicry shines  even most brilliantly. Anathema to blisters induced by prickly nettle; an artwork mustered quivering feathers  that cascade over  the ivory cuticles nestled in molten mascarpone.  Pearlescent opal stone, a glimpse of the  azure sky,  a shattered spirit,  hollering. Deeper within her  skeletal corpulence an artist grumbles  vehemently, leaping into the air  while emitting a strained sonorous tone, primal image vanishes and equestrian adulation  is insufficient, an ersatz nest of swans brimming with an  ethereal dawn. Soprano with a  whimsical quality slightly etched in  matte black tone diploid remnants are  a flawless fleck of  fascinating fear, Hollow echoes chant  hymns hail cherubs, and  croon carcass lullabies Rakish Requiem for  an unreciprocated  magnificent opus swiftly spanning  pinewood spots, on the  cusp of giving way. As the impresario  sags on the ladder,  the opera curtains  are drawn closer, a soothing melody  numbs her fingers  in the process. Mozart pianissimo is  playing as Requiem strolls  across the stage, yet, he pulls it off  and fulfills the  task precisely. Etchings of sequence  on my flesh, conduct  an extraordinary  ballet of life,  raving smooth calm with melodic verses  that breathe vitality.

I have no words... I can only stay gape-mouthed. Your vocabulary is simply stupendous. This poem is too deep for me to get all that you have meant. There is so much pretense and hypocrisy in this world. In such a place, poetry can breathe a lot of vitality! Simply splendid, dear friend.

Your poem delves into the intricacies of existence, exploring the contrast between illusion and authenticity, beauty and decay, artifice and truth. Through its vivid imagery and evocative language, it invites readers to contemplate the layers of meaning embedded within its verses... In its exploration of love, loss, and the quest for meaning, the poem invites readers to confront their own mortality and embrace the fleeting beauty of the human experience.

this poem pulled on my heart strings and grabbed my attention because of the subtle message contrasted with vivid imagery. I know I've said this before, but reading your poetry leaves me breathless, for they are true works of art. I especially liked these lines: Etchings of sequence on my flesh, conduct an extraordinary ballet of life, raving smooth calm with melodic verses that breathe vitality...don't know why but I kept thinking of 'Swan Lake.' Have a great evening, dear Sotto. Sara
