Free Verse Fever

He painted with emotions from a palette of words

Found himself in a forest of light green foliage

Threw his colours and ink pots high into the air

Waited for streams of consciousness to settle

Until sentiments found sentences on their own


The prism of clouds condensed into sun light

A bold font trickled from the pen’s fountain

Near a spring of love healing and innocence

Above an eagle circled above smudges of tears

Imagined that he was part of the poet’s plot


A flying aerial daredevil screeched his giggles

Undertone of freedom and ambience of spirit

Sound of the wilderness and narration of prey

A reminder and prayer of letting go of the past

Charisma found pages of unequivocal surrender


The scribe had been a hunter a few blue moon ago

Had once sharpened his quill with a razor of anger

Before twilight dawned on meaning and conscience

Planting seeds in an undergrowth of a restless mind

The bird’s wisdom dispersed the protagonist’s agony


Gently eased his kind claws and compassionate beak

Meanwhile the writer’s soul dispersed shadows of doubt

Fluorescent vibrations flirted around a layer of light

As the character witness unshackled anxiety’s trap

Relieved from permanence a new aura reflected his mood



The theme for the poem is ‘Aura’

Such an Aura could not be found in many a blue moon. Nice to find such eloquence in a weary world. -Richard

Beautifully and skillfully penned, Gordon. I love the way the colors (like words) are thrown into the air as he waits for them to fall upon his canvas. This is a brilliant description of the creative process for writers. Hugs, Carolyn
