Connie Marcum Wong Poet Monorhyme

Dominion

Point of reference never came.
     I waited eons just to see
     The clever end of destiny.

To me it always looks the same...
     Though gender changes time to time, 
     Salacious souls we re-define.

The numbers tell what's in the name.
     Let intuition's second sight
     Guide the lost toward heaven's light.

Are we the fools and life's a game? 
     We seem to dwell on other's flaws
     A tune well played by karmic laws.

We endure life's eternal flame.
     To live and learn can be sublime;
     Our birth and death are both divine.


Point of reference never came.
To me it always looks the same...
The numbers tell what's in the name.
Are we the fools and life's a game? 
We endure life's eternal flame.

Paul Callus December 27, 2017 at 2:34 PM So your creative poetry form has been in existence nearly 8 years, Connie! And you certainly launched it with a powerful and expressive poem. Pity Soup has not as yet acknowledged it! ~ Warm regards // paul Connie Marcum Wong October 7, 2018 at 11:06 AM Actually I created the Constanza form in 2007 Paul. I appreciate your support. Thank you my friend. : )

Lynn Marie April 9, 2017 at 5:54 PM This is wonderful and sooo 'you' Connie, with the spiritual offerings to have one be still and absorb the full meaning of your profound words. There is a bit of an edgy feel to this, the language sharp with intent. The last line is remarkable. We do 'endure', the cost to our souls sometimes immeasurable, though I believe 'karma' is a beautiful thing. I love losing myself in your poetry and resurfacing feeling 'Wow...what a great experience':) thank youxxx Connie Marcum Wong April 10, 2017 at 7:48 AM Thank you very much Lynn. With this poem I created the Constanza form, so it is memorable to me. Your comments are always so gracious and thoughtful. I appreciate your time very much. Blessings, Connie ; )

Daver Austin May 9, 2013 at 9:46 AM Congrats on this selection, Connie. I believe your last line has it. For me it's all about life and life in all its forms and in all its houses. I tend to leave God-singular out of it. Love, daver
