Leanne Lovejoy-Burton Poet Free verse

Deep Waters

"Deep Waters"


These walls full circle
This room full tide
Deepest Deep Waters
All shades of Blue
Floodgate sheds lives
Empty room 
Vacant garden bed
Dead Womb 
Departure
Called Home
Cut the chord
Reborn



(Lovejoy-Burton/April 2018)

Al Juman August 8, 2018 at 10:23 AM Leanee I feel the happiness and pain in this write--- well done Leanne Lovejoy-Burton August 8, 2018 at 4:16 PM While I was treading water, deep water at that, it gave me pause to think about "how IT all happens" - of course, this is my perspective on this page. Thank you Al.

FJ Thomas May 7, 2018 at 11:03 PM Astounding artistry in word Leanne! Leanne Lovejoy-Burton May 8, 2018 at 2:27 AM Thank you FJ, that is very kind of you to say. x

Freddie Robinson Jr. April 30, 2018 at 1:31 PM I agree totally w/Probir ... absorbing visuals to help accentuate this perfectly worded stand-alone prose. The beauty of your mind always amazes me. Keep your sparkling pen flowing w/glittering ink of wisdom. Love and joy always. Leanne Lovejoy-Burton April 30, 2018 at 1:37 PM Prob off page for a few days. But will still be writing. Post 'em up when I get back. Thank you R. x

Line Gauthier April 27, 2018 at 11:35 PM I like where you are going with this, Leanne. Leanne Lovejoy-Burton April 28, 2018 at 6:07 PM Line, your Haiku is stellar. If only I could tame my verbosity, perhaps I should give it a go. Love your Spring Haiku. Thanks for stopping by. x

Kishan Sharma April 27, 2018 at 11:26 PM Nice Kishan Sharma April 28, 2018 at 8:04 PM To tell the truth,I have become habitual now. My heart does not believe in what I do. Therefore, I express my feelings and write it. Leanne Lovejoy-Burton April 28, 2018 at 6:09 PM Kishan, your most recent 'sonnet' is a real humdinger. It sounds to me like you have a thorn stuck in your heart. Very sad. Sometimes, you need to pull them out. It hurts for a little bit and then the wound heals. x
