Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Tonight

Tonight I will write
no profound verse,

nothing negatively terse – 
alternately worse,

I will only, in my reconsidering mind
and multi-chambered, often corrosive heart, 
rehearse my better, positive part; where
I should and could mostly dwell, hearkening to
heaven's angels,  as opposed to earth's usual 
demons of Waring hell.... 

of a world on the brink,
the poison man's ill temperament
is too quickly to buy and drink – 

Tonight, I will not think, of man's moral stink,
but focus on sweeter scents, those of springtime's
charming, whirling nectars; and a bright moon without a tinge
of hazy blue – I will plant new garden memories
for the now season of fresh cultivation, rotating my 
gifted seeds as a respectful steward, not wanting to deplete
the soul of a fertile land on loan – pausing to listen
to the awakening, champagne fizz of gentile showers,
the aeration of my crops~
uncorking, nose tickling 
delightful pops....

Arjun Jangid March 20, 2022 at 5:38 PM Tonight I will not think, very positive approach to reduce tensions. Be good have good. Joe DeMino , you wrote beautifully but there is no rest in sounds of bumbs. Have a good day friend. Joseph P. DiMino March 20, 2022 at 7:01 PM I hear you; for someone in a war zone, constant bombing, there can be no quiet, no peace. And no place to go to be safe for more than brief moments perhaps. Thank you, Arjun. You sound like a man who has had personal experience, maybe in the thick of it now. Blessings my friend. Be safe.
