Articulation and Silence

Colm is quiet, doesn't prattle
but when he speaks
it's important
or it's grand talk
of the type that makes you
think deeply
feel profoundly
or clarify reality.

His are dog-bone words
you need to hold onto awhile
to ponder and work at
until you've worried out
all the flavor
and crunched to the marrow.

Mel:

She has the heart of an architect,
molding metaphors and prayer beads
before writing about another sunrise
she will travel to. Winds call to her,
words follow her until her breaths are
stained with memories that she must
paint, exhale onto a new canvas.
Sleeping to the strange sounds
of the city but dreaming to the comfort
of the sea - how poetry visits her on
streets where she reads art from fingertips
and lonely eyes that remind her we are
all drifting, waiting to dwell
somewhere.

The Key Chain Whispers For Britt

This lady placed a smile
upon my face, many years ago.

She was young at the time,
placed within a rich, forrest green sky-

Oregon knows not the beauty that
resides within their state.

She exudes elegance as she prances
around in elegant fashion, her love for
God, Husband and elderly- Her passion.

My memories run deep of our friendship.

Her strength overcomes more obstacles
than I can fathom, and eternally inspired
I shall always be, for I adore Brittney.

Keychains contain laughter,
differences set aside,
our friendship is forever
and that is a truth I can't hide.

She's been my pillar of stone
throughout the years,
I have to stop writing this
because I'm in tears.

Love you Britt~

Play me a song

There's a poet on the piano
playing ballads from her life
like bedtime stories we've read
when sleep was out of reach.

I may never of spoken to you
but through writing I've learned
secrets that you kept close;
some I relate to my own.

Everyday your poems are heard
throughout our community halls
as your words echo in our hearts
and your smile brightens our own.

There's a poet on the piano
keeping our secrets safe
as we quietly whisper thanks
for the love that you have shared.

A, Godfather.

A glimmer of justice
in a shredded world;
a man of honor,
a man of word.

A serene merge
of wit and insight,
seducing the world
to chuckle into light.

A genuine leader to those
who have lost their path;
no one but the Godfather
would smoothly blow-off the wrath.

A virtue sword of silver crest
thriving through a fleeting land,
in glory and triumph,
constantly lifting up a hand.

Ode to Meena Krish

She whispers tears
within her lines
of detailed forms
and heartfelt rhymes.

Meena sachet's like
an elegant swan
tending to poets,
reading their song.

A beautiful writer,
full of grace
I hope this poem
puts a smile on her face.

Jane what can I say?
You're one of the few
mods that I know, and
get along with (sometimes)
No, don't get me wrong I don't
dislike any of the others but
some days I dislike everyone.
All I can truly say about you is
that you have personality that
I true enjoy, so thank you for
once being my friend. For me
you'll always be sliveshoes because
you walked into my life and made
it shine and then walked off into
the sunset. So when I make and give
this poem, everyone else will see
and read it, know that you are a good
person and I'm proud that you're
one of the mods for this site.
So thank you Jane and have a wonderful
day.

Astounding poems.
Thanks, Winter-Fox for running this piece.

As to the author for my own:
"constantly lifting up a hand"
I admit, I do ask for a lot of bathroom breaks.
Goes with the age thing.

Not trying to be rude but call me anything other then Alex please... I hate that name with a passion when used apon me. Sorry...

Done, but you may not like the new appellation; I took it from your avatar.
;8-)

OMG that is SO cute. I originally was looking for a winter Fox for my profile picture! Haha.

Sorry I haven't asked people to call me Alex in a long time, it's honestly one of the reasons I wanted to leave the site. (As dumb as that sounds)

I actually was just recently named by my best friend and her mother (adopted family) because I didn't like the fact I was choosing my own name.. it was an old complaint I've had my whole life...

Not going to release it here today though because I already have like 6 names I go by on here

This is pretty close wow

A sincere thank you to whoever wrote the poem about/for me. I'm flattered. Thank you.
