Notes About The Poem

Written for Joseph May contest , picture 5 , rhymes

Pearl Rose

5 

I breathe your name in lilac-glazed hues, dazed in butterfly moon’s sighs,
aching for stellar muse to tease   and  release celestial dust~
there the salt of the sea  graces  silver  traces  of the lunar skies.

O precious  pearl rose, unfurl  restless colors of your midnight gold,
for this nocturnal  heart knows  and has mastered the cosmic  art  of trust,
while I let the weight of my  ink sink,  steering the wind and waves to behold. 

I ponder,  if dusk and dawn sway to the mystical ray of light~
will  we  ever soar free, under the spell of psychedelic lust,
lost in the timeless  rhythm of  rhyme-less runes out of sight?

I missed seeing this gem as POTD. I am sure this must have scored a high placement in Joseph's contest. With what beauty, you have invested the night. I see the stellar muse releasing celestial dust and the lunar sky gleaming with traces of silver. "the timeless rhythm of rhyme-less runes " really is so catchy. Hearty Congratulations on your great placement and POTD honor.

Few botanicals are lovelier than the unfolding petals of a rose. You always brush your poetry with a palette of colors. This one, I imagine in a pale pearly dusting of rose. Congratulations on potd, Ink.

You get so many lovely comments, because you are a lovely, sincere person who supports so many on here.. I know you have much more poetic poems that this, that could have been POTD... but this one is one of skill and you have shown what multi talented poet you are with the internal rhymes and rhymes flowing form verse to verse and and the end rhymes.. and your choice of words to portray your emotions are descriptive in their imagery and of course great use of metaphors.. all the best..

Dearest Inky, congratulations on your POTD! This poem is so romantically dreamy. Truly poetic "cosmic art" glowing in the moonlight. Love your subject - the "pearl rose." Luscious imagery in every line. You always make words dance for you in "timeless" rhythms. So happy to see this honor for you, dear friend. Sending you blessings. Samzy~

' I let the weight of my ink sink, steering the wind and waves to behold. ' So deep and inspiring, all at the same time. I must say, your ' heart knows and has mastered the cosmic art of rhythm ' and ' rhyme. ' This is beautiful and magical, Ink Empress. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
