Paloma P Poet Imagism

No Return Strategy

It was a boomerang love affair
of "once upon a midnight dreary"
preponderances mid ecstasy & woe
obliterating affection's sensibilities, 
strategic mid tomorrow's yesterdays
[nectar'd apricot marmalade honey
neath sizzling hot habanero spices]
doused with tears betwixt fiery tumult
and indescribable embraced moments
clutching onto daunting fairy tales of
happily afters & no return adaptations 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

of lioness queen's jungle and    
overbearing laughing hyenas 



Poe - 'one upon a midnight dreary'

Freddie Robinson Jr. October 20, 2016 at 7:05 PM Ultra-cool poem, Paloma. I really loved the flow, the meter and the imagery paired together. A winning combo for sure. Another great poem, Lady poetess. Keep the love and knowledge flowing. Keep loving and living, sharing and giving. Ty for this treat of a sweet poem. May you live long and prosper. Much love to you. Paloma P October 21, 2016 at 7:50 AM Many thanks for your lustrous review, much appreciated Freddie!

Keith Logan October 20, 2016 at 3:56 AM I give sixes where others give sevens, holding back the top rating for something really exceptional. I almost used one of those rare gifts here because this quite exceptional. I very much enjoyed the word play which hints at a barely restrained sense of humour. I look forward to reading more of your works. Paloma P October 20, 2016 at 4:32 PM 'almost' made me sniggle quietly, I'll try to do better next time, thanks Keith.

Tim Smith October 19, 2016 at 5:29 PM I like the contrasts going on here Paloma...the dark v light, sweet v spicy...well versed Chris Green October 19, 2016 at 6:05 PM That'll teach me.

Chris Green October 19, 2016 at 4:59 PM I just noticed you are one of the top new poets on the site and one of the most active in reading and commenting, why is no one reading you? Paloma P October 19, 2016 at 5:21 PM You're back! Sweet of you to say Chris, I think it's the excess make-up, scares people off, but it's Audrey freaking Hepburn. :)

Chris Green October 19, 2016 at 3:28 PM "Happily afters and no return adaptations" Don't I know how this feels. Your poem is mesmerizing, if words came in colors, this would be the exit side of a prism. Wow, this was amazing. Paloma P October 19, 2016 at 3:43 PM Okay, that's gotta be the coolest critique ever, 'the exit side of a prism', poetry runs through your veins. :) Many thanks Chris.
