Unintended Innuendo Poetry Contest

Sixth PlaceConquering  others takes force ~conquering yourself is true strengthLao Tzu
“as we passed her she did wilt which caused in us sense of guilt since our stance perhaps did cause to put her heart’s joy on pause though we’re gentle, not hostile we diminished her soul’s smile since our aura as she viewed scent of love did not exude” —Unseeking Seeker the passersby wailed in laughter with a blink of an eye she sought the here after prompting hatred she'd rid and had been gone the sun's soul beaming within left are the pieces contusion once dealt exemplification deep purple, blue/black welt anticipating that it is all in the imagination innuendo scorns, undertones as intimidation the nuances of facial expression and body language an undercurrent hides beneath an open bridge the windy storm blows farther its opaque steam whilst whispering mantras gently stream uttering phonemes begin and she softly chants deep breaths balm lofty thoughts further enhance ‘I choose and listen how my inner voice druthers, and not the random opinions of others’ forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds—perfume on the heel that has crushed it, where sweet aromas loom

Anaya, I especially like the last lines of the poem about forgiveness. It does make it possible to live life in the present and perhaps even enjoy it. The way the subject chants and chooses to view the world is a very insightful exploration of how we can move on and experience some joy. It matches the picture. It is a form of graduation and brings one to crossroads of a sorts. Wonderful! Take care and smiles!!

the ending resembles karma, Duke. It's a sad truth when one has been mistaken or mistakes what really wasn't an innuendo or undertones really never existed, who really is the one searching for attention? This gentle, Janist like , fi stanzas of Seekers, has me wondering who 'they' are. Ty you too~

Dear Anaya, youve written a very thoughr provoking and intriguing take on the line of enquiry! I love the use of colors and the flow of lines as well as the artwork and your spoken word generated for this too, sounds natural. Especially loved the lines “forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds—perfume on the heel that has crushed it, where sweet aromas loom” deep and heartfelt! Pleasure visiting your poem today! Best wishes for the contest! Sending you light

Such a heartfelt write Anaya. How we sometimes are inflicted with subtle pains that hurt within. We all experience it, sometimes rightfully so, and sometimes not. We are human. Forgiving and moving on in itself is strength to overcome our feelings which have been hurt. I always Look as the person as a whole not just one difference of opinion. I try and respect others point of view sharing mine. We must always be as kind to one another in our words to share when we have a difference of opinion...

Wow, a powerful intensity behind this- so many beautiful lines, "gone the Sun's soul beaming within" "forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds—perfume on the heel that has crushed it,"

Dear Anaya. Your great poetry delves into issues of dedication, mercy, and the conflict between outward views and one's own voice. It examines the suffering inflicted by others, the healing process, and, ultimately, the value of confidence and personal progress.

US's "scent of love did not exude” and "our stance" gave me the feel that these powerful ones had weakened her, belittling her, even if they didn't see it. She did the right thing, turn the cheek. I enjoy your insights, SP. Ty
