Nette Onclaud Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Sunflowers Ablaze

Embedded deeply in trickles of rain;
I grasp love’s ending as my head lays down
On a field of blossoms, their tresses agleam,
Curtsying gaily unto April winds...
Dear sunflower, sunflower, lift  me high
Your lustrous twirls  beheld to these cold eyes;
In fresh revelry, a tearful heart whispers 
For daylight of change… now a bud ablaze,
Igniting my faith, reborn like your sway
To dance again through heavenly prayers!

Paul Callus April 17, 2016 at 2:34 PM Hi Nette! I don't want to sound repetitive, but each time I read a poem of yours I can't help saying 'excellent' or 'beautiful'. You always deliver, as with this sunflower poem which interprets the proffered image so well. #7 hugs // paul

Daver Austin April 17, 2016 at 10:09 AM The sunflower has had strong effect on many artists - Van Gogh, and how about the scene in Dr, Zhivago. I like the opening bright yellow on black - kind of ethereal. I read this several times, decided it was like much of modern poetry and music. You read or listen for effect and not for form. Love, daver

Poet Destroyer A April 17, 2016 at 9:23 AM I'm going to be honest Nette... I have many great poem... but none which I was looking for. Yes, this is great. If memory serves me correctly, I had one entry close to the imagery I was looking for. Of course you did marvelous with the depth of the picture, but did not hit the words I was searching for. Thank you for getting this one in. It will have great placement in my contest ... Love Linda
