Paloma P Poet Classicism

Byron and Dickinson Fire

She was created of earth's lusty marrow,
 lived amidst chimera and heather fields
  breathing Byron essence & Dickinson fire,
there was madness in the poetry of her life
   an atmosphere favorably self-aware 
      mundane was ne'er her cup of fancy

In death, she was found to be quite lucid
'tween exiled days and windswept expanses
   of untrodden woodlands & lone seascapes,
perchance glimpse her twilit ambiance
  whispering beyond breezes of conclusive
   horizons void of derived worldly silhouettes

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 12, 2016 at 1:49 PM It's a classic for sure, Paloma. Your words flow from some secret fountain beyond most poet's grasp. Simply divine prose. Love your work as always. Love and many blessings to you.

CayCay Godwin October 12, 2016 at 1:43 PM Beautiful prose, Paloma. Your take on the contest is unique - I am reading all entries I can find because I'm not sure what the sponsor means / wants. Apparently, you wrapped the poetry of Bryon and Dickinson around a fictitious poem-character. You did a good job, quite enthralling. Good luck in all things ... CayCay Paloma P October 12, 2016 at 4:29 PM Many thanks for this glowing review CayCay.

Marquis Mc Mills-Cooper October 8, 2016 at 11:49 AM This is a good write and a marvelous entry for the COLORIZE THE CLASSICS contest. Good luck Paloma! MC Paloma P October 12, 2016 at 4:28 PM Thanks so much MC!

Phillip Garcia October 7, 2016 at 2:07 PM I'll have to check this movie out. If it's half as good as your poem it will be time well spent. I love the last line especially - I can never get silhouettes to work and you did it with ease Paloma P October 7, 2016 at 2:13 PM I didn't choose a movie but classic poets, the rules said 'If the title strikes you in another way, then go for it' so I did. I was hesitant about silhouettes myself. Thanks very much.
