Connie Marcum Wong Poet Free verse

Poetic Passions

The island birds have done their work,
Fed their young, and now take roost
In swaying palms with the setting sun.
I too have filled my sunny day
With mundane chores, I've toiled away
Until this magical twilight hour...
When I drink my tea and wander
Over reams of creative poetry.

Your romantic words have inspired me...
Let me fly freely... through the galaxy.
Though evening news causes much disdain
Your brilliant words bring delight again.
Romance blooms from pen to paper 
In such vivid and fragrant floral bouquets.
So many forms and varieties I am astounded,
I can't take my weary eyes away!

The night is virginal and humid
As Jasmine releases her sultry scent...
Romance me with your tales of love
Which I respect as heaven sent.
As I read poems half through the night
They color dreams in dawn's twilight.

I like how you view poetry here and so eloquently, too! Thank you so much for commenting on my writes, I truly appreciate it and also thank you for your concern. I am doing ok, just got busy (school has started).. that was so humbling of you to think of Picasso with my sleep write. Thank you so much and sending you hugs and love <3
