Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

Beyond Earth's Trend

I ponder deeply you sweet friend
                            Maybe we'll meet beyond 
                                      Earth's trend
                                   You dearest poet
                                        Dear to me
                                  Transcendent friend 
                                       Sweet Emily
                          
                         I ponder letters poems and Life
                                 What cut your heart
                                  With sorrows knife
                                     A world spun
                                  Within your soul
                                    To gift us now
                                    Was that your 
                                           Goal?

                         Who could bring me such a tear
                                 I read your words
                                 And you are here
                                    Kindred spirit
                                      Poet friend
                                    Meet me past
                                     This earthen
                                         Trend

Bill Baker October 8, 2022 at 11:34 PM A lovely tribute to a friend, BJ. You will meet again. Have a pleasant week, my friend. Bill Bj Legros Kelley October 21, 2022 at 9:02 PM Thank you Bill, it is actually about one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickinson :) I haven't met her yet, she only feels like a friend because I began reading her work as a child and could relate to her and why she wrote what she wrote, and why she shied away as she did. I'm possibly one of her biggest fans...but someday, in eternity I hope to tell her how she inspired me to write. I would as a child, and as an adult, write on everything I could get my hands on, envelopes and the like if paper wasn't around. I was such a different little girl. If Emily were to be aware of her little earthly fan, from her reward in heaven she would have probably laughed..."I heard a bee buzz........" Oh my goodness. Seriously, I should have started a fan club! I still love her so :)

Vijay Pandit October 5, 2022 at 4:32 AM A poem from the heart. A touching write, BJ. Bj Legros Kelley October 21, 2022 at 8:55 PM Thank you Vijay, I love Emily Dickinson. She was one of the first poets that went straight to my heart as a child. She felt like a friend to me when life was difficult and I wanted to be just like her....in the seclusion of my room writing my heart away. I was a strange child, I knew not one other kid my age like myself, dreadfully shy after we moved away from our happy home in N. CA., I immersed myself in poetry, especially the poems of Emily. I do hope so much to meet her in heaven someday!

Victor Buhagiar October 5, 2022 at 2:07 AM I can't keep up with your large number of poems which all seem so good. This I chose because it gives me a lot to ponder on. Bj Legros Kelley October 21, 2022 at 8:50 PM Lol, that was a busy day to be sure, I never usually have that happen, to write that many poems on here anyway in a single day! You are such an encouragement to me, and I appreciate your visits and comments :)

Anon Y'Mous October 4, 2022 at 9:53 PM Time and distance are not in the equation when two poets share the same heart felt emotions. Very well penned. Bj Legros Kelley October 4, 2022 at 10:59 PM So very true Anon, you have a very empathetic heart. Thank you for stopping by with your insightful comment, I so much appreciate it! :)
