alight at both ends
already has cost her so many pyrophobic friends....

Not choosy about person's sex when she played
Nor age of the person with whom she lay
However, her poetry brightens my day

Sonnets - Pleiades
Sonneteer Petrarch, with
Shakespeare, set the standards:
so little space - fourteen
short lines, each with just ten
syllables. Yet greats like
St. Vincent Millay weave
scripts pregnant with meaning.

Millay
A journey told in stanzas,
Layered with devout cynicism.
Lyrical dreams set to pen,
Painted a world with poetry.
A Pulitzer Prize heart,
Flooded the page in verse.
Inspired by her many affairs,
She shared her poetic soul,
To her beloved America.

Shape
Souls In Stardust
'down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind' -
Edna St Vincent Millay
In
Vastness
We shall lie
At peace, beneath
Mountains of moonbeams
No servants or masters
Equal bells, everlasting
Shackles of suffering release
Over celestial bridges, where the
Cosmos recycles our souls in stardust.

Past the Steeple
"Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind"
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
On
my back,
looking up
past the steeple,
I view pure beauty
beyond the vale of tears.
Soon, I will be going down,
but I am not resigned to stay.
This soothing peace is otherworldly
but for cries of all who mourn my demise

Tears of Rain
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; " Edna St, Vincent Millay
rain
falls hard
ground is soft
black mud appears
swollen rivers flood
tears cry nonstop from sky
trees are engulfed by pure rage
weeping willow weeps for life line
roots struggle for strength to hold onto
stormy clouds pushed away by mighty sun

Tides
'...the great tide that treads the shifting shore.'
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
Sluggishly the waves steal in like guilty
lovers, apologetic,
smothering the shore with gentle kisses
of contrition;
the ocean lies at rest, the surf recumbent,
apoplectic.
Suddenly the heavens burst, tides no
longer in remission,
swells that idled now surge into shore
their temper rages,
'sotto voce' once, now they roar like tigers
in their cages!...

Sluggishly the waves steal in like guilty
lovers, apologetic,
smothering the shore with gentle kisses
of contrition;
the ocean lies at rest, the surf recumbent,
anorectic.

Death As Savior
"Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; " Edna St. Vincent Millay
That
which used
to tiptoe
is now stomping!
Cleverly disguised,
it strides purposefully
proclaiming propoganda
as it tramples our liberties.
Good people everywhere – don’t despair,
for Death shall deliver you . . . from madness.
