From Weeping Tears, No Longer Shall Joy Find In Heart Anything,Poets Dedication Series

Part Three of the Sixth poet honored (Emily Dickinson) in famous poets dedication series (3.) From Weeping Tears, No Longer Shall Joy Find In Heart Anything Creeping thick fog has dimmed my view of morn's resplendent lake so dreary is life's sorrows, more than this sad soul can take yet tomorrow promises mysteries that leap from the dark tho' my life's worries have wrinkled my skin like Sycamore bark. Night shall come, with its agonies crying to be unbound as its bellowing howls screech out, horrendous gasping sounds very soon midnight moon will swallow up my despondent soul spitting it out as fragmented black-stained pieces of the whole! God forbid! That from this nightmare I never dare to wake to that of Life, dear sweet Love, I never again partake and from morbid sunken state, my heart crumble and be no more fallen into heaps of crushed bones, spilled blood and ghastly gore! Woe! The epic pains such broken-heart images dare'st tonight bring From weeping tears, no longer shall joy find in heart anything. Robert J. Lindley, 2- 12-2019 Sonnet, ( The Sad Depths Of Sorrow's Deep Epic Pains) dedicated to Emily Dickinson, poets dedication series.. (4.) There's More To The Old Forest Than Its Ancient Trees As years are peeled back, this gladden heart now truth sees there's more to the old forest than its ancient trees mystery in places, savagery in its nights more than just imagination, it hides from sight! Yet such does not negate its most beautiful gifts its Autumn colors, songbirds notes that so uplifts bounty of its harvests, peace it oft can instill calm that one may find there, treasures that oft so thrill. Tho' darkness lurks there deep and hides its evil ways one can visit its truth, find self most any day walk along its well worn trails and about life muse all of its many wonders, in this dark world use! As years are peeled back, this gladden heart now truth sees. There's more to the old forest than its ancient trees. Robert J. Lindley, 1- 18-2019 Sonnet, ( Amazing That This Dark World, Has Such Beauty In Its Forests) dedicated to Emily Dickinson, in poet dedication series Note: (1.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Dickinson (2.) https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/emily-dickinson

"As years are peeled back, this gladden heart now truth sees there's more to the old forest than its ancient trees mystery in places, savagery in its nights more than just imagination, it hides from sight!" I think Emily Dickinson is smiling at this one!

Hi Robert, wondrous talent, creativity skilfull wordcraft and poetic grace, you have shared through this series so far. I am like Peter, I cannot understand why more people do not drop by your wonderful body of work. Now, that said, let us look at these new poems. I can never say I have any special lines in your work Robert for there are so many within each piece. You have managed to keep up the poetic grace through each of these tributes and I am sure you shall do until the end. A fave....Mike.

Interesting seeing you on line same time I am. Sure do hear many times a day about how ignorant Trump is. He would rather consult with Putin. Ridiculous.

My friend, lets leave politics out of this famous poets dedication series. These poems are tributes honoring famous poets that gave this world very creative, imaginary and golden verse. Some that sacrificed tremendously to do so. Some that dedicated their life to this the highest art- Poetry. Please feel free to comment on the poetry if you so wish. Thank you....

Sadly, I am going back and forth day to day on just how long I think I can continue this laboriously hard composing task I have set myself. Doing these first 6 poets are a far way from completing the original 20 poets that was my plan to reproduce, due to their loss decades ago..

Love the metaphor of sycamore bark. There certainly is more the forest than the trees; so much more. Well penned.

Thank you dear friend. That verse comes from my knowledge of trees, Knowledge given me by my dad when I was a young child. My father was the one that gave me the great love, of Nature, its trees and it animals. And he encouraged me to explore even as a very young child.
