Tim Smith Poet Free verse

The Woven Letter

Chilled nights anxiously swept away
holding hope as daunting eyes dance alone

brushed strokes of silence escape
hearts flutter in anticipation  words
aloft  floating on solemn wings
indulging in  free flight fantasy
amongst where angels do sing

pressed parchment lain longs to be
read    under mysterious glow
radiant notes   piously resound
peering stoically in ardent spirit 

tense the quiet hour plays on
minds drift off to bountiful fields
yielding precious daisies  sway
happily in the gentle breeze

amber strokes of lovely lift
doleful doubt and helplessness
aside  unearthing jubilation
yearning for this never ending dream

Darren White May 2, 2017 at 12:11 PM What I love about your poetry, and now about the form only, is the way you subtly play with the spacebar, thus creating small breaks and changed in stress and accents. Plus the alliteraton. The poem itself is so longing and beautiful. One day my friend, I hope your dream will come true.
