Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Images Burst Through Silence

Late duskfall cracks the air tenderly,
wandering on a language of silence
as twilight caresses the breath
of fluid intuition… for when all else

is sprawled quiet, there comes this
certain ambient stream wading on
mouths of reflection,  far beyond
the collage of any flushed landscape,
 
and watching inward becomes a vision…
that learning how to hear a pear or
pebble unravel the very skin from
which it was born is allowing time to

unfold its leaves  beyond unknowing a
need to stay in the moment: and images
passing through calm eyes of any season
is poetry’s way of coming back to itself. 


------------------- 
*It is in deep silence 
and mindful awareness
 that the burst of imagination
 flows freely.

Frederic Parker June 3, 2015 at 6:45 PM Introspection wrapped in all its colors, like a rainbow slowly fading away in the mind awaiting the sunlight to once again pierce each droplet so it may return...my first thought after reading your beautiful poem.

Andrea Dietrich June 3, 2015 at 5:36 PM Nette, was that last little part a quote or your own words . I loved that. And also the part about poetry coming back to itself. An awesome line!! I am sure you won't need any luck to score in this contest!!

Emile Pinet June 3, 2015 at 1:03 PM Your poems are art and art has no rules, only admirers and naysayer. Truth, fear, imagination and innocence lay silently within such words as these, waiting to be released by the magic of a poet's pen. Emile. #7

Rhoma Em June 3, 2015 at 12:21 PM To flow with beauty through deep observation, so true. And understanding that, your exquisite poetry treads into the light, Nette.
