Nette Onclaud Poet Blank verse

Just That Archaic Poet

On a peaceful isle of your hammock
Bring me notes from an old guitar
That I may share euphoric thoughts
Embracing a geek in silence.

Past Tolkien's edge, a rite I bless
While on sweet trail, God's pentagram
lights optical dreams to refine,
This after-life’s soft artistry.
	 
Pour down on me, my brother Chan,
and fire my breath with your warm torch;
for an archaic rhymer glides
To nurture joy, fresh on my mind.

Kelly Deschler November 24, 2014 at 6:08 PM Chan's inspiring presence will be felt for a long time. He sure made a positive impact on us during the short time that he was here... This was a beautiful poem for Chan. He had a hidden tender side, so I think he would've enjoyed this tribute! Very nicely done, Nette!

Cyndi Macmillan November 22, 2014 at 6:23 AM Love this, Nette, because it is both so him and so you. Thank you, Soul Sis. I feel in my heart of hearts that he'd have loved this, because of its tender portrayal. It has his spirit (pour down on me, indeed!). Love sent to you. I'm having a crazy-good weekend, helping family -- come Monday, life should settle a bit, here. xoxox Cyndi

Leon Datu November 19, 2014 at 1:52 AM Deep and fervent offering for Archaic Poet Chan who was a driving force on this site. I commend you, Nette as I was touched by your exquisite poem.

Andrea Dietrich November 18, 2014 at 11:08 PM The words Cyndi gave for us to use were the kind that are so inspiring to free verse poets like you, Nette. I fear I can never do for this kind of contest what you and others I have seen are doing. VERY nicely done. It evokes such a beautiful memory of our friend Chan.

Charmaine Chircop November 18, 2014 at 5:01 PM Misted my eyes sweet Nette..You just did.Adding it to my fvs!
