Shining In Poetry's Light

lovely Line is a lady who
lingers in deep thought-
her style shines with wit;
a simile or two with a touch of personification in
free verse poems, 
shares the freedom to embrace her 
muse as if she never embraced before-
leads others into the abyss of her mind’s eye reaching
depths never before allowed-
for her words wisp me o’er a sun kissed cloud

sweet Sandy’s muse bleeds solitude-
she sways the trees in the 
breeze of sorrow in front 
of me and all i want to do is… 
hug her forever
for she feels the kind of pain only the strong feel,
and her strength shines in each poem written;
her style is as beautiful as the eventide sun setting
in the western sky,
for her words make me want to cry

my style seems different, yet similar to few;
my metaphors make melancholy proud,
finding the time for internal rhyme,
making meter much more sweeter-
each day I write as if it was the last,
every syllable noted is full 
of the kind of emotional fury only 
my soul can write with
harvesting a haibun of hope,
always feeding my parchment echoes of
affection and adorning amour
yet
i endure the burden of wearing a muse of woe-
anguish runs through my veins and my 
words run awry with alliteration and 
personification
for my words fill my soul with inspiration

THREE GIFTED POETS SHINING IN POETRY'S LIGHT,
ARE AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO ALL WHO WRITE

Lu Loo, this is your love letter to two very talented writers and your admiration and respect for their words and friendship shine through your lovely poem. "Finding the time for internal rhyme" is a fun line, as is "making meter much more sweeter", as well as your multiple alliterations, but this is gorgeous through and through. So glad I read this ~ John
