Lonna Blodgett Poet Rhyme

Rekindled

Hope has no direction when the deed has spoken its flower's doom
Set free from truths rejection to help our hearts reform
But ever so quietly reminiscent of the roses constant bloom
My heart still feels those times spent in the warmth reborn



October 10, 2020

4-line stanza excerpt from Tone of the Rose, April 2020

Gary Radice October 12, 2020 at 7:47 AM Congratulations on your win in Gregory's competition Lonna. I always approach reading the winners' list in these specific competitions in the same way; I read your 4 line stanza and then read your original - and then read your 4 line stanza again. Both your pieces stand alone. Both made me think and both are rich in imagery and feeling. Lonna Blodgett October 12, 2020 at 8:54 AM Thank you Gary.....read some of your poetry for the first time and WOW! Love how your think! Started following you too
