This is an anacreontic verse inspired by The Silent One, a dedicated verse for a selflss soul, thank you silent one for inspiring us all

He is silence, crowned in rosy rhymes, sprinkling balmy rain upon frail flowers. misunderstood, yet beneath his armor, is the selfless moon, bestowing starlight. when darkness unfolds, time may be cruel, but seasons can't wilt soft-spoken sagas, echoing amidst hushed sanctuaries. he shoulders the weight of a true savior. suppressing his need to be heard and seen, in a world so dark and misleading, he remains throned to an emerald garden, that glows as the king of picturesque patience. painting the wrongs right through butterfly strokes, of everlasting acrylics, in gold across mourning skies.

I feel so happy to see the emergence of a few poets who paint "through butterfly strokes, of everlasting acrylics, in gold across mourning skies. " We feel dazzled by their brilliance. This is equally a tribute to our dear friend Silent One to whom it is dedicated and also for the one who has authored it. Beautiful....

A wonderful tribute poem for a man with the heart and soul of a poet. Thank you for honoring the essence of the man, Silent One, Ink. Your beautiful imagery brings home the beauty of the heartful poet Silent One. You choose a very difficult form to write it in, my friend. Thanks for sharing your poetic gift with us. A FAV for my list! Hugs, Bill

what thoughtful and sweet words, Ink! Your tribute touched me; you made me a bit more aware of his contributions to you and your poetry. I know I've gleaned much for reading his poems and receiving his comments. I liked 'picturesque patience.' Your grateful nature is inspiring. Nicely done. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Dearest Inky, this challenging form is child 's play in your talented, poetic hands that create unforgettable images - "ever lasting acrylics," "bestowing starlight," "painting the wrongs right." Words bow to your poetic soul and artistry of your pen. Wonderful tribute for SO - a very special, multi-talented artist! Thank you! Blessings to you on butterfly wings, dear friend!

Although anacreontic verse can be challenging to achieve in terms of flow, this particular piece is excellent. Such sweetness... It is always appreciated to recognize those who inspire. Indeed, Silent One deserves such praise as he is one of the most exquisite muse writing skills, and your eloquence pays homage to a remarkable individual.

This is very sweet, but I am not worthy of such praise, just an ordinary guy writing ordinary poetry... some find it nice, some not.. such is the subjective nature of words.. however, I appreciate your kind gesture and efforts in doing so.. You did this form so well, I posted an old one, I should do another one that is recent.. Thank you.
