Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Stained Glass Sunrise

I watch each stained glass sunrise as it surfaces from the sea
     and each sunset, when dusk paints pastels with grand esprit
No fence surrounds my oasis, no flashing lights or blaring horns
     and I've hybridized my roses, so no longer do they have thorns

John Hamilton September 21, 2020 at 7:35 AM A wonderful write Jenna, I think esprit is a word that should be used more often, it's a very poetic word, congrats on a top win!

Sigrid Ermine September 20, 2020 at 9:44 PM Massive Congratulations, Jenna. Quite a remarkable write. The description here is poetry personified. Specifically, a position I need to arrive at in my life. I will meditate on its sensible (albeit difficult) message.

Sam Kauffman September 20, 2020 at 8:52 AM Beautiful images throughout, Jenna. I do like the picture of the rose without thorns but the images of "stain glass sunrise" and "pastel" dusk are really very imaginative and unique! Congratulations! Jenna Logan September 20, 2020 at 8:59 AM Hi Sam, and thank you for mentioning something you particularly liked. I appreciate that.

Line Gauthier September 20, 2020 at 4:14 AM Congrats on your podium finish, Jenna. Beautiful excerpt ~ Jenna Logan September 20, 2020 at 6:13 AM Thank you very much, Line.

Gregory Richard Barden September 20, 2020 at 2:17 AM Adored the imagery you set up here, Jenna, and the thorn-less roses - a concept I have used more than once, full of delicious ambiguity and layering ... I lean toward shorter lines, but it makes no difference when it flows as smoothly as this does - superbly done! Blessings and thanks for entering, My Friend! :o) <3 Jenna Logan September 20, 2020 at 6:13 AM Thank you for the acknowledgement and honor, Gregory.
