Carol Fillmore Poet Blank verse

Untitled3

whispers of spring
lilacs in the misty morning
their sweet perfume fills the air
cut blooms in vases






Came across a new poetry form earlier today, Naani.  The form is Telagu (India), 4 
lines, between 20-24 syllables in total and is often about human relations or current 
statements (events? ... this part wasn't clear).  This poem was inspired in part by a 
friend (first two lines), Christine Amaryllis Haskell...without her, the poem might not 
have come together:) Thanks my BFF!

Carol Fillmore June 16, 2011 at 12:12 PM Hi Kashinath:) I was browsing on some website (sorry forget which one;) and found this form. It looked intriguing so tried one. More challenging than it initially appeared though I really enjoyed the challenge! Thanks for your comment. Carol

Jancarl Campi May 31, 2011 at 8:57 AM this is a very interesting poem. i like the flow it is a sense of peace and quiet to it. i am not too much into form poetry, i just write. Perhaps i should try something to challenge my brain. Thanks for sharing and for reading my work, Jancarl
