Notes About The Poem

Journal, Junk, Jagged Words Poetry Contest  Sponsored by: Constance La France  Written 10/20/2023

Journal

“A leather journal and pen sit on a nightstand by a flickering candlelight ready, as the wind spins my thoughts.”  Quote by poet

Autumn alters the richness of reds and amber hues. 
Teal and orange sky infuse with waning butter 
and fine woven gold embracing the horizon. 
Fiery pinwheels spinning downward, amid others. 

Reaching over to my pen and leather journal 
to write before the words won't come again. 
Drawing out a sigh, unbidden tears arise 
finding love once more in the brilliance of nature. 

Could I once more find fulfillment and love, 
instead of living eternity quite alone?

Christina Bowring October 22, 2023 at 2:16 AM Such a tender, heart rendering poem dear Eve so exquisitely expressed. Your beautiful quote enhances this wonderful poem. All the lines are masterfully crafted with lovely imagery. Love the use of colours,’ teal and orange sky’ , ‘ fine woven gold’. Gorgeous! Gosh - those last two lines really pull the heart strings. Very profound. Loved it! Good luck in the contest. I hope you do well. Hugs to you :):)

Hiya Sharma October 21, 2023 at 7:07 AM Oh my, you've presented an eloquent use of colours, nature and vivid imageries to describe your thoughts in the most whimsical way, truly profound, dear Eve.. I'm in marvel of breathtaking talent of weaving words and also, your expression of emotions here.. When one yearns for love, fulfilment and healing.. But is tangled in sighs of loneliness and poignancy.. "Teal and orange sky infuse with waning butter" Brilliant opening line as well.. A most profound take for the contest, best of luck!!

Hilda Greenhough October 20, 2023 at 9:08 PM This poem shows the connection between nature and creative endeavor. It reads like a moving scene that transpires from autumn into loneliness. It was an enjoyable poem.
