Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Abecedarian

Notes About The Poem

***Huge one: James Andrew Fraser, it was July, 2014 when our paths crossed. I can still remember the first ever comment I received from you was in my "STORMS" poem. I scan your lists and the first poem that caught me is about the cherubs...... not long we write and collaborated to various themes.... Overall, I thank you so much... ;)! hugs!!!

A Tribute To James Fraser: It's Not An Accident

 A TRIBUTE TO JAMES FRASER: "IT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT"

Accidentally clicked but perhaps, its the angels 
bewitched who bring me to your poem pages. Scanning
closer, like a curious child, I leisurely collide,
dancing even from high to low notes
engraved  effortless  to  your humming runes.

Finishing one, two and three,
golly! I am beguiled to read more! Tell me,
how can I stop?... when there--
inked a scarlet flare of beauty and beast.

Jam-packed phrases conjuring tease and please,
kindling somber deserted moods,
leaking maybe a legal frown or grin from lips.
Medley thoughts you combust exhale
neutrality, passion, your story and dreams.

Olive green sprouting slow amidst your dark
pencilled winter woes. Your life experience
qualify you to relish: sweet to bitter
repertoire verses.  

Sometimes a prison of rules
taunts, you freely toss tangles
unto my sleeping nerves luring undulations, but!
Voila! once analyzed and understood
warbles wonder and freedom of thoughts!

Xenodochy and respect you humbly express,
yielding liftless your good attitude. James...
Zone to zone you may be, God and me loves thee!

Cynthia Ferguson August 6, 2015 at 5:57 AM this makes me want to try writing an alphabetic poem, this is an excellent piece Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 12, 2015 at 4:24 AM write one Cynthia..=') it's challenging.. =")

Dave Timperley August 6, 2015 at 1:41 AM I like this work, never tried an alphabet poem yet. Xenodochy, now there is a word I have never used but have practiced all my life. God Bless. D. Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 6, 2015 at 5:51 AM Dave, the one thing I like in this form is that it allows me to learn new words.. Last time I made another poem in this form, it was emphasize by the sponsor not to use just the words that are say like to, a, i to fill up the letters... Hence, I was challenged to fill each letter with somewhat unusual difficult words.. though I hope it flowed well.. =') hahaha I only tried my best!! thanks much! It's better that even we don't know the appropriate word to sum up things but we practice.. =")~Olive ELoisa.. =")

Michael Ellis August 5, 2015 at 8:21 PM I love the first paragraph and how you started this poem...You opened up well for your readers..A very challenging poem. Thank You..A story fabulously told Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 6, 2015 at 5:44 AM Poet, I want to make this poem a poem so close to my heart. Hence, I started on how our paths crossed noting my above notes that the first poem I read from him is a poem about cherubs.. =')! I was contemplating which form I should do but then what came to my mind is this one... The alphabet letters I want all to use to tell how wonderful he incorporating how our paths crossed and a message at the end.. =')!~Olive ELoisa

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 6, 2015 at 5:40 AM Andrea, there lessons of life James taught me.. And I'm more than happy Andie.. =") Hahahaha when I first heard his voice on the phone I really thought he is a singer. He has a nice voice.
