Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Poetry: Shadows Coming to Light

Garnering complete elucidation
  within the untrammeled confines
      of several exceptional poetic lines
         most certainly deserves validation

Does brevity confine poetic thought
  not if readers have a vivid imagination
     Comprehension is found where sought
        Three lines can be a brilliant summation

Poetry is shadows that come to light
  The tears trickling down from my eyes
     My emotions escaping in sorrowful sighs
         Easing burdens and healing scars as I write

Happy Thursday xxoo Lin Lane May 2, 2024 at 5:47 AM I’m quite well, Mike. Thank you for visiting. You’ve been missed I hope all is well with you.

Tom Cunningham April 30, 2024 at 10:55 AM It's a conduit for our emotions to spill out onto a page to share with the outside world, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. Great writing Lin. Tom Lin Lane April 30, 2024 at 11:48 AM Yes, Tom it is. Good thing we don't have to buy ink these days! Seriously, thank you for so many grand comments you leave for my poetry.

Jay Narain April 30, 2024 at 10:35 AM Great write. Why the good poems have sad undertoen? I guess no one writes happy poems. Lin Lane April 30, 2024 at 11:47 AM I write all kinds of poetry, Jay. You've read enough of mine to know I can be as ridiculously silly with a Limerick as I go dark and deep with maudlin poems. Thanks for your many visits.

Kim Rodrigues April 30, 2024 at 9:31 AM Lovely all the way through! There is catharsis in writing and yes, a brilliantly written haiku and a reader’s good eye, perspective, experience, and all, can enhance a ku to great heights. Faving! Lin Lane April 30, 2024 at 11:44 AM There is for many of us, Kim. Sometimes a mere three or four lines can say more than one of Sonnet length. I'm glad you also appreciate brevity. Thank you.

Frank Sheehan April 30, 2024 at 9:14 AM Fantastic write. It captures the essence. Enjoyed immensely. Lin Lane April 30, 2024 at 11:43 AM Hi, Frank. I haven't seen you for a while. Thanks for your read and commenting on this one.
