Russell Sivey Poet Quatrain

-day One-

Day one, the Earth seems not to miss a beat
I’m newly married to my poetry
Seeming the beginning of a new start
Loving link will last an eternity

We’ve a bond that is inseparable
Nothing like it in the whole world today
Only other poets can understand
Words that pour out is what we want to say

Though expressed in ways that’s quite allusive
Mysterious and charming is the way
Loving and daring dynamically
Proposed is what’s shown, alive on each day

Day two is completion of the poem
So secluded it has hidden between
The facet and beam with life’s illusion
Trying to show just what is truly seen

Into the world of poetry I go
Hoping that I fit in with my efforts
Not knowing here if I surely do now
I’m humbled every day by the experts

Shirley Candy July 5, 2013 at 10:51 PM This is lovely..congratz on your win, Russel :))

Andrea Dietrich July 5, 2013 at 10:09 PM Russell. I bet you made the winners list. I just saw I got an HM for mine and I did not notice about yours but I bet it is in the top ten! I wanted respond to what you said about King sun and having a prince moon. I can't do that, because Moon is the QUEEN. I have other poems about her marriage to King Sun. So Sea is just one of his many mistresses. haha

Seren Roberts July 1, 2013 at 7:47 PM loved it Russell ...Seren

Connie Gildersleeve July 1, 2013 at 8:04 AM Your poetry are songs from your heart and soul and you're able to elegantly tap into them, and translate them into creative and amazing ways. I truly think this is what poetry is all about: tapping inward and translating ideas, feelings and emotions outward. Warm Smiles, Connie

Kim Van Breda June 29, 2013 at 6:26 AM Excellent! Yes we are all the same-- expressing ourselves through our images and words of inspiration... on a good day! I wrote a poem called "Ulteriority"-- poets and their character traits-- Good luck for the competition.

Andrea Dietrich June 28, 2013 at 6:47 PM you did a wonderful job with the theme PD gave us, Russell. I know this will be a hit with her!!

Eileen Manassian June 28, 2013 at 10:47 AM What experts? Is there such a thing? No one can ever perfect language. I could connect with your passion for writing here. Loved the marriage metaphore. Good luck.
