Michael J. Falotico Poet Couplet

With Poetic Talk

I walked down a road and thought I saw myself...
The tree lined visions spilled with little help...

The sounds rained down with such a familiar taste..
On my palate they sat , and not a piece did I waste...

Some that I swallowed were layered in joy and fear...
Others were covered in a love so near...

Then the road turned cloudy with unfamiliar steps...
Bright colors filtered over as small dreams wept...

It was my future, and with wisdom and strength I walk...
Where whispered cries and rhyming smiles shout in poetic talk...

Sharon Ruebel February 20, 2012 at 3:48 PM Hello Dearest Michael, Truly a remarkable piece. I have enjoyed reading you for quite some time now. Yours is a gift that I visit again and again. Beautiful as the person behind the pen....... Lov, Shar

Andrea Dietrich February 20, 2012 at 3:33 PM hahaha, isn't that funny how that happens sometimes? You work so hard on one and the other one taking a short time is the person's favorite! I liked this one too. This one has some great imagery, Michael. My favorite couplets were 1, 2 and 3.

James Fraser February 20, 2012 at 3:31 PM This equals the other. From anew we delve into positive and negative thoughts. I read a past, being told in the present. I like the past, but I adore the present, because you've found yourself. Your writing never had to mature much, WHY? - because it was always very good, and it would never be less. It's as simple as that Michael. You have heart, nothing beats that, not ever. Your Highlander friend, James :)
