Guru Jad Poet Quatrain

In Glee

When hearts are torn in sorrow
And days await weeks to borrow 
A scented Eurasian herb called yarrow
I stand afar in glee;

When blessings are so nearby in mass
And hedgehogs hop upon the green-grass
On a melody for a dancer trying a chasse
I stand afar in glee;

When love is the surname of every being
Shimmering sincerity and guaranteeing
Its rank in holiness and power of freeing 
I stand afar in glee!

Dave Timperley February 28, 2013 at 2:09 PM 'tis refreshing to read your stuff. You have a great command of words past. Glee is one of them, with this I wait to read more and more from you. 'tis nearing the witching hour and Morphius awaits. Good night and God Bless. D. Guru Jad February 28, 2013 at 4:16 PM Dear Dave, I am fond of old words. In my perspective, they have a latent power. When I read for writers or poets from the past centuries, eloquence words are found in every corner. I bid you good dreams and hope the Winged Daemon would be gentle with you!

Sara Kendrick February 26, 2013 at 10:52 AM I really like this one..I have never seen a Hedgehog in real life..They must be interesting creatures..I have had two plants both of which were called Yarrow..They were totally different though...Thanks for stopping by..Your comments were uplifting..Sara Guru Jad February 26, 2013 at 3:49 PM Dear Sara, thank you for stopping by. Hedgehogs are really strange, especially their pines, which they use for defence in attack by throwing them. As kids, we used to collect them to use as quills for writing. Excellent things! As for yarrows, they are lovely herbs of many benefits.

Poet Destroyer A February 25, 2013 at 2:22 PM Hi Guru, making one more stop to welcome you to the poetry soup. I hope you will enjoy your time here. I sure am looking forward into reading more of your poetry. always~ LINDA Guru Jad February 25, 2013 at 3:11 PM Your visit is a Welcome by itself.. My post is adorned with your comment. I must thank your magical presence. Thank You!

Poet Destroyer A February 25, 2013 at 2:08 PM Dear Guru, to only reach and touch what stands in a distance. I love the good feeling and calling of glee, waiting for you. and love is my name... I'm drawn to the surname of my being in every way. thank you for the magical feeling... i felt a bit lost reading the sorrow hint through your poem, and still the light shines...xox~ PD Guru Jad February 25, 2013 at 3:10 PM Dear Linda, We tend to seek happiness in all of its forms, but I believe that there is much more happiness in us when we feel it surrounding us rather than only being graced by it. It is a supreme goal. The hint of sorrow is: When I see broken and wounded hearts healed by the power of magical effect of yarrow (a herb from the Greek times said to be used for healing wounds), I feel happy!

Guru Jad February 22, 2013 at 7:58 PM I am must be blessed for receiving such a praise from you, sir. At least, I am in an extreme bliss. Thank you for honoring me with your visit.

Andrea Dietrich February 22, 2013 at 5:59 PM what a cute repeating line at the end of each stanza. Reminds me of kyrielle form!! Guru Jad February 22, 2013 at 7:54 PM You are right. It is similar to it in a way, save the fact that most kyrielles are of religious attributes. Thank you for visiting the page and reading the post.
