I return

to this site –

where fish bite

lovers quake

and your kindness is just right.

 

In the twilight

sun evaporates into the night

stars appear so bright –

goodness and evil begin the fight  

 

to change me. Through years

of strife

life flavoured me

and it was the way it was.

Yay!!!  Pick of the day.  And so deserved for this absolute beauty.  I loved it when I first read it and I am delighted that it has gone a big step further than just an 'ordinary' cherry.  A great way to start your writing in the new year.  I'm delighted for you Richard.

Yaaaa! Thank you too, scratch. A real joy. This poem just tumbled from my brain, to heart, then fingers to computer and began dancing the Watusi. How do I bookmark stories? I really like the new look of this site. R

Beautiful, Richard. Simple and elemental. Touches the soul. As. these things should. Brilliant pick. I loved this at the first reading. Could be the piece I have enjoyed most of all from you. So far. Great crafting.

Yes, I completely agree Parsons.  This is one of the best pieces (if not the best) of Richard's that I have read too.  Fabulous poem.

Hello and well done on the golden cherries. There is a lovely restfulness to this, like the stillness of dusk. I especially liked when it rolled over between second stanza and third and the last lines. I don't know how to keep tags on authors I like either! Guess we just have to keep on our toes.

Thank you so much, Catherine. Lately I have challenged myself to create layers within a short poem. Some of mine can get words. Have a great day. (You are a very good writer)

Hi Richard,

A lovely poem - very pithy. Nothing wasted - yet with a wealth of emotion and experience.

Thank you too, Jeand. Lately I have felt a freedom of expression that bursts from me, and honestly it does surprise me, because with the written word what more is there to say that is not already said? A quotation I read many years ago (author/ess stated---"There is nothing new under the sun, except discovering a new way to say the same thing). But, oh the joy in being part of the plan, eh?.
