Moments

Moments
gentle hours, sweet,
innocent and sublime.
When we were green and tender young,
lying in heathered meadows fragrance dear,
swaying softly on fragile stems
within your arms melting
Let's not outrun
moments.

Re: Cry ~ tanka poem

So lovely Stella. I've been trying to understand this style of poetry. I've found a couple of different takes on it, so a little confusing (to me), but this is wonderful!

Blue Heather Fields - Italian Sonnet

What dreams I'd dare to dream if I could find, some peace within this hollow heart of tears. Left empty for so many frozen years, imprisoned by the loss of love maligned. I'd wrench free of this Stockholm state of mind, remember who I was before these fears. Rejoice in friendship found among my peer...

Re: Sleepless Dreams - Abhanga

Thank you! I was watching a crime show on ID TV. The horror these people experience when their children are taken from them was my inspiration. So very very sad. Truly, if this loss were my own I don't think I could write about it.

Safe Snuggled in my Cottage Nook

Soft streaks across my window pane, staccato flowing gentle rain. In plump chintz chair I sit and stare, at hymnal songs of nature's prayer. I watch to see it pluck at strings, of crocheted webs the spider brings. She scuttles with her eggs on back, and fights to keep pearl threads intact. The happy...

Sleepless Dreams - Abhanga

Through distant tunnel time, I hear you calling me. In darkness I can't see your gentle face. Tossed in turbulent sheets, you come at troubled night. A mother's grievous plight still tortures me. Tracing memories dear, I follow in the dark, then glimpse you like a lark escape my grasp. Though years ...

Daughters Dance

Daughters dance like daisy's do,
laugh like lilies, yes it's true.
Smile like sunshine's yellow grin,
bubble boisterous, never grim.
Run like airy summer rain,
rippling like a glad refrain.
Daughter's dance the whole day through.

Hello to all!

My name is Colleen, otherwise known as Zephyrwords. I live in Massachusetts, USA. I have written all my life (short stories), though not poetry. I recently began dabbling in the form and have come to love it. My goal is to learn and experiment in all the various styles.
