A love Poem
to see you to be
with you the very thought of you
your
warmth kindness humor and tenderness
each time fresh and
new yet a long continuum
wrapping the
silver thread from my heart
to your's and back again to my own
love is complete comfortable no questions
no
insecurity complete acceptance love is austere
it is not about what i can get but what i can give
silver and gold are
of no value when compared to you
you renew my
soul soothe my spirit it may not be necessary
but men die for
lack of it i cherish you

The Old Man to The
Old Woman
he was old shuffled
as he left the store shoulders hunched
head down heard him
say but could not understand
someone else
explained he likes your hair a kindness given
a kind of love from
one old man to an old woman
who has also lost the spring in her step she touched her hair
and smiled waved to
him hello...goodbye

Note: We really don't get too old to give and to respond to kindness.

Your Poems
your writing is like pieces of a puzzle even when you have fitted each piece
into the whole still hard to get the news some words from dreams
some from
imagination some from memory thrown into the air
allowed to
stand where they fall fitted into the picture
where they land so
many levels meaning distorted
stretched exaggerated combined
with other words
for new
meanings each word pregnant with meaning for the whole
even when all are fitted into place still there is mystery so much unexplained
the reader is
expected to bring something of their own fill in the blanks
add paint plug the
holes finish the story

I really love the thought of filling in the blanks.. there should be a mystery in great poetry.
in the blanks
add paint
plug the holes
finish the story

This is the best part of the poem....
Always a joy...this was no less. Thank you
Love all of these, annell. I plan to write about that poet, as well, when I get the chance. ;)
Oh, my, this is such fun. Poetry as a puzzle is a great concept.
A bit of a conundrum, as your gorgeous abstract poetics describe more than one poet to me; but no matter, the form & message are beautiful, mysterious, layered--vivid yet vague. A sterling ace of the prompt. I like the lines /still hard to get the news/(some words)/thrown into the air/allowed to stand/where they fall/.
I LOVE your love poem. It is wonderful to read about a love that is so secure, so peaceful......quite wonderful. Love the poem about the old gentleman and his compliment to the woman...a small kindness that brightened her day.........an interesting poem about poetry, as well. Three poems! Each one so good to read.
Annell, I hope you get around to see there is one written about you. ;)
