Nette Onclaud Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Robes of Life's Cycles

He strokes my voluptuous contour delicately
As  bold petals  crown this auburn hair, 
Enticing a heady  desire to roam
Through a woodland's  flamboyant trails:
And the artist pours  dotted hues
From  my four  seasons,
Imbuing a  rebellious womanly grit
Upon layered coatings to decorate my bodice 
With robes of passion, of iced distance,
Until  his hand  chooses the flavored sways
through a cycle’s dance,
eternalizing  my  flamed glow.

Though  the  brush of fleeting hours ;
I  rise to touch the moon, to inhale
bloated fruits and leaves ...how impeccable!
When new mornings crawl,  my seasons
live again for pleasure and holiness
before twigs of age  melt my life’s  fragrance.

Russell Sivey August 31, 2017 at 4:13 AM It's early in the morning here and Russell wants me to get on and comment on some of his friends poetry, so I am doing it as I am up now. :) He says, "Your poem is fabulous Nette, I really loved it this morning. I have missed your exquisite poetry the last few days. You always impress me my friend. You bring out the creative side in me with each poem you write. You are awesome Nette! Great work." This is a nice poem, I like it, Emma :)
