Lisa Ricci Poet Free verse

In the Still of the Night

"in the still of the night"
in the still of the night
there is action
words are written
people are talking
the world moves forward
in the still of the night
there is life
lights are on
coffee brews
the inside remains warm
in the still of the night
there is love
lovers embrace
passions' light surrounds
all is right with the world

John Michaels May 6, 2017 at 8:52 AM Again, you demonstrate so ably that repetition definitely has a place in poetry!!! Three wonderful little ditties, united to give us that glimpse into these people - the mundanity of their lives elevated to magnificence by your words!! Well done, Lisa. Regards, John. Lisa Ricci May 6, 2017 at 11:42 AM Hi John. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Did I forget to say Thank you. It means the world to me John because I know there are some who have no belief or recognition for any expression of repetition in poetry. I do however. Your review intake and commentary are all so generous to which I do not take lightly. Have a wonderful afternoon and I will return to your page soon.

Chris Green May 3, 2017 at 3:46 PM I was talking to someone today who told me that he just adores the way Lisa writes. Her poetry always has this soft and endearing quality to it. Her poetry is that which he'd love to get lost in and never find his way out again. He was very complimentary of your work my friend. Oh...wait a minute, I was talking to myself. Ooops. :) Beautifully written my friend. Lisa Ricci May 3, 2017 at 4:00 PM PS: Please tell yourself right back at you and your entries as well. Lisa Ricci May 3, 2017 at 3:58 PM What.... Hi Chris. You are cracking me up here I think. Wow can I save this review. Your commentary is a gift. Honestly. Saying thank you is so small I know but Thank You. Thank you for the praise and yes the smile too. Enjoy the night. It's my hope that my entry and my work are deserving.
