Eileen Manassian Poet Quatrain

In Search of That Name

Up and down I quickly scroll
In search of the poet’s name
So desperate to feed my soul
And my anxious thoughts to tame

I scan with my longing eyes
This heart igniting to flame
I wonder where it could be?
The halo around that name

I breathe a sigh of relief
There it is, glorious sight
The name that is sure to bring
Dreams vibrant into my night

I click with growing ardor
Read and savor every line
Each thought entwined with magic
Transports me to the sublime

I sigh with deep contentment
Nourished by all he has shared
Dressed with the robe of his words
A gift of the soul he bared

Refreshed, I rise from my bed
A brilliant start to my day
In this little heart a wish
That his name is here to stay

PS....Welcome to the world of technology, Soupers! ;) Our poetry must reflect our changing times. Computers, text messaging, posts...etc. Also....Read my Sonnet XX to know what I think about guess work! ;) Let the poet write in peace....enjoy the thoughts....and let mystery reign supreme! :) I'm sure you all look for names of poets whose work you relish, so you can relate.

Kim Van Breda July 22, 2013 at 4:00 AM Great poem Eileen. I think P/Soup is a rather addictive site-- but a good one :) I read Christian connotations into this?? Either way a lovely piece. Eileen Manassian July 22, 2013 at 8:04 AM Yes....it is addictive...I can say that much. No...No Christian connotations in this, my dear. Simply reads as it was written...Thanks for visiting! Hugs!

Poet Tacito July 21, 2013 at 9:26 AM Awesome! This makes me wonder how our poetry will be valued & read 100+ years from now, the way we value a good Shakespearean poem. Nicely done! Eileen Manassian July 21, 2013 at 11:12 AM I know, right? :) How are you, Drake? All well? I hope so....Imagine how they will laugh at works like Ipad and Ipod when they have....I don't know what to even call the new fangled gadgets they will have then...I know you are a wiz cause you are creating computer games...WOW! :)
