Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

A Rusty Screen

Ethereal rays of light
dilute darkness into grey.
Ebony fades with the night;
only shadows; defy day.

A spiderweb casts a hue
of iridescent flashes.
And the morning mist drips dew;
in intermittent splashes.

Dawn splits reality's realm
into scenes rivaling dreams.
As songbirds sing in the elm,
while sunbeams gild golden streams.

Dragonflies and bumblebees
flex crackled cellophane wings.
And the sun warms every breeze,
smug with the heat that it brings.

Slivers of light pierce my eye;
filtered through a rusty screen.
And rustling leaves flutter high,
in a canopy of green.

Line Gauthier March 1, 2018 at 6:06 PM Love the juxtaposition of "rays of light dilute darkness into gray" and "only shadows defy day" but even more so "Dragonflies and bumble bees flex crackled cellophane wings". Just beautiful, Emile. Well done. Emile Pinet March 1, 2018 at 6:47 PM Thank you so much Line, your visits are always most welcome. Emile.

Kp Nunez May 13, 2015 at 3:54 PM Emile, you have the talent to not only deliver exquisite imagery, you also inspire others to see it poetically as Diane has said. You are, a prolific writer, however, and if my muse keep jumping up and down when she sees you work, I worry that I can't keep up with my time! Just want to acknowledge how deeply you are appreciated. Another 7. :-) Kim Emile Pinet May 13, 2015 at 5:42 PM Kim, your words have touched my heart, thank you so much. Emile.
