Richard Lamoureux Poet Terzanelle

Blanket of Happy

I wish I had magic to take away her sad
A blanket of happy to drape over her shoulders
Warming her spirit turning her solemn day glad

Sometimes darkness rolls over us like boulders
Each of us possesses a special gift to share
A blanket of happy to drape over her shoulders

When a mood comes we can feel full of despair
I have spent many days on darkened doorways
Each of us possesses a special gift to share

Each word I send is sprinkled with light rays
My friend does not need to stay where I've been
I have spent many days on darkened doorways

Let her soar amidst natures happy scene
My happy thoughts flow across a calm sea
My friend does not need to stay where I've been

It may not be enough yet I give a part of me
My happy thoughts flow across a calm sea
I wish I had magic to take away her sad
Warming her spirit turning her solemn day glad

Barbara Barry-Nishanian June 16, 2018 at 4:44 PM Richard, your message to Eileen shows you true heart. This terzarelle poem a form you just taught me about. Thanks for education. Wonderful, and no one need to stay where you'd been, tho we all go there.

Eileen Manassian May 9, 2014 at 12:26 PM Having me a good cry just now....This blanket is much needed, Richard. Thanks Richard Lamoureux May 9, 2014 at 3:36 PM I am amazed that you think you have lost your dream. From my perspective it is merely a matter of you pursuing it. You have the talent you just need to put a plan in motion to move towards it. When it comes to poetry soup this is not the venue to become recognized, it is a place to hone our writing skills. Eileen Manassian May 9, 2014 at 12:39 PM Too much pressure....Work wise, family commitment wise....big events coming up. I'm just so not up to anything taxing. I've become a bit of a recluse. I'm worried....At times...I just don't see that light at the end of the tunnel...A big BIG cause of my pain is my writing....It's hard to lose a dream...I can't bear it... Richard Lamoureux May 9, 2014 at 12:35 PM What had happened Eileen? Sorry to hear you are sad.

Andrea Dietrich September 14, 2013 at 12:48 AM this is so sweet, Richard. I think you are one of the poets who likes to use this form a lot? If not, you should do it a lot because it becomes you! Richard Lamoureux September 14, 2013 at 6:36 AM Yes I do enjoy this form, it is kind of like excercise for the mind. Sometimes difficult to carry a coherent thought from beginning to end which is actualy the beginning again.

Andrea Dietrich September 14, 2013 at 12:47 AM First, Richard, don't feel bad. You are still six years behind ME now. Let me read this poem!!
