Sotto Poet Poet Nonet

Notes About The Poem

Nature Scanning

Written: December 14, 2023, For Ink Empress Contest
             ________________________________________

Sipping from nature's cynosure duct
as yearning subtly for sweetness
quaint wings of golden glass.
lifelong square keenness
barely seen but loved
drifting nearby
reedy bird
held my
sigh
time
sunset
this winter
it feels peaceful
grasping the instant
sweet infant in my arms
she struck her velvety foot
much giggles brightening the mind
Touched my face with rose-dipped fingertips.

Speaks Volumes December 16, 2023 at 12:47 PM You never cease to amaze me. This is perfection. Your mind manages to pull just the wright words to create magnificence. Not just one in a while, but Always. .. What can anyone say to describe the feeling they get reading your poetry ? I am in awe, so I guess that makes it AWESOME. All the best from Wen.

Hilda Greenhough December 15, 2023 at 6:06 PM This is a lovingly honest poem of happiness. Small children are poems in their own right. Thank you.

Bill Baker December 15, 2023 at 5:01 PM We call one that looks just like the picture, "Flitter". Just like in the picture, Flitter, love to visit our Hibiscus every year. A well written Nonet, my friend. A fine entry for the contest. Good luck! May your poet's pen be always filled with smooth flowing poetic words as its ink. Have a pleasant weekend, my dear friend. Bill ps I did add this one to my FAV list.

Richard Lamoureux December 15, 2023 at 6:52 AM Humming birds are conduits of joy. This piece fluttered in my mind. Thanks as well for your visit.

Vijay Pandit December 15, 2023 at 5:33 AM Lovely nature images, skillfully delivered, in this difficult to execute contest form. Well done, my friend.

Valsa George December 15, 2023 at 1:15 AM Such a delightful nonet. The poem presenting two beautiful objects, a humming bird sucking honey and a child touching your face with her rose dipped finger tips....! Both are so pleasingly and delicately presented in vivid and captivating imagery. Well dine dear friend. All the Best.
