To My Dear Helen
You began to write the history of your life With a kind of fear; I know not why you are so great; O, Helen, to me, you are so dear. You're talented, you're esteemed; How enchanting your fantasy is! Your voice is always buzzing in my heart, Just like the honey-seeker bees. You are fantastic, you are the greatest; I look upon you as...

Premium Member A Helen Keller Kyrielle - Hk
When Helen Keller was a child, both deaf and blind, she acted wild until her heart was helped to melt. Seen or not, beauty must be felt. Sweet sights and sounds she knew not of. She barely comprehended love. In youth, a bad hand she’d been dealt. Seen or not, beauty must be felt. A favored doll, dear Helen clutched, yet things were nameless...

Venus
More beauteous than Helen of Troy! More beauteous than all beauty queens! More beauteous than the foggy eves: More beauteous than the starry beams; Was it thou angels Who beguiled? With thy unearthly beauty sheen! In far off, far off, far off well From centuries hanging they unseen Which name of Lord thou learned from Them? By which magic them...

Helen Steiner Rice
Writing with peace about the Avenger She assembled words of worship Simplicity filled her pages Writing with perseverance for the Builder She bumbled with joyful jubilance With truth, she engages Writing with praise for the Creator She crumbled her satisfied soul Joy motivated her pen Writing with poise about the Deliverer She dissembled all negative notions God's glory was her yen Writing with persistence for the...

Premium Member For Helen Sudell
For Helen Sudell In weeks and months, the years do burn. As the lessons of our God we learn. Another blink, ten pages turn... From light we come, to light return. And in one summer, decades amass, As one autumn chilled night does last. Our spring was light, and so damned fast, Until our winter night did pass. So on this earth, we...

Helen Are You O of My Heart

One thousand (mille-Helens) make one Helen, the unit fashioned after Helen of Troy believed to be the most beauteous ever to have walked on this globe. (Why not? Western standards only today matter). In the octave of this sonnet, a husband...

Premium Member Dance, For Helen
You, beautiful one, Aware of mind's inner space, But travelling, thrilling to movement. Tiny jokes and masked meanings The place you played. You undid models Like a child making games, The barrier behind unvisited. Hold up your arms And dance! Death's not erased the past and Is not the end of music....
