Poetic Styles

A poetess of simple expression
in free flowing verse
discrete words resonate
with cadence of aria
on a single string of violin
the beginning paces down
to the ending
with no period
as the tune keeps on
echoing for long

her verses are the surge of the mountain stream
the course unpredictable carving the vale of impulse
        cascades down
        with poignant power
the torrents of leaping water unleashed on gush
race breathless over the ebullient rapids
        swirl around within
        mid-stream pools
where in the obscure depth of passion
the pearly beads of emotion lie sunk
        shrouded in enigma
        some feelings remain
        unexpressed

With the broken strands of web
of languid life and torrid times
I try to weave simple tapestry
of imagery in the poetry of heart.
Rising from the dust of trampled path
I fly on the shadow of the falling sky
to the edge of the waiting horizon,
as the twilight gleam sequesters me.

Subimal, I love the music references in your first stanza, nature in action in the second, and the imagery of sky / horizon / twilight in the third. Well done, and congrats on your top placement in Line's contest! ~ John
