Emile Pinet Poet Rhyme

Touch the Sky

Romantics weave a web of hope
spun from the frayed threads of a dream.
Yet, it's as strong as any rope;
and as bracing as a cool stream.
Life offers more
than debt and war.

Humans have adapted to cope
with both reality and Dream. 
Sliding down a slippery slope,
no one can hear a silent scream.
To touch the sky,
first learn to fly.

Connie Marcum Wong May 30, 2022 at 7:30 PM This little posie truly spoke to me. It reminded me of my flying days. Brilliantly expressed Emile. I agree with Milton. You always celebrate poetry forms, introducing poets to many different forms. Your poetry inspires! Have a great week. Blessings xxoo Connie Marcum Wong August 6, 2022 at 5:18 PM For 34 years on all types of Aircraft. I was on the inaugural flight out of Seattle to Chicago on the 747 Jumbo Jet we all feared was so heavy it would not get off the ground. All the passengers applauded on takeoff and landing there was loud cheers. Blessings xxoo Emile Pinet May 31, 2022 at 8:01 AM Thanks, Connie; you always bring a smile to my day, I didn't know that you flew, good for you my friend, Emile.

L Milton Hankins May 30, 2022 at 12:14 PM Ah so, my friend. I truly like this brief poem. It seems a little akin to a quintilla, but has rhyme features akin to the villanelle, too. I appreciate the way you introduce us to new forms with stellar examples, my friend. Keep up the good work. Emile Pinet May 30, 2022 at 12:46 PM Thanks, Milt; it's always a pleasure to hear from you, I hope you are feeling better, my friend, Emile.
