Some words should be written
with a black crayon on a black wall
To live only in the shadows of mind
Never to be read by anyone else
...
Zuto-zelenom drvecu nedostaje
zlatno-crveno-narancaste boje
Pa da bude kao Connecticut
Minus Hrvatske ovce I krave
...
Necu plakati i necu biti tuzna
Sjecati cu se sretnih dana
Kao onda kada si mi dao nadimak
Crni kos I drzao me u svojim rukama,
...
Like sadness contemplated in solitude,
Thoughts are burning inside me,
Engulfed in seductive
Mermaid's song.
...
Today I need to write.
Some unknown power just
ordered:
Go! Sit down! Write!
...
This is a poem in progress.
It has just started to
develop in my mind
three minutes ago.
...
Fight between two minds,
equally strong, yet similar in weakness too.
Watching them now
from afar.
...
there are some poems
which commit a murder
of souls
those are extremely tough

Najprije operite ruke,
stovise, pokusajte
izderati kozu.
Onda tako.. potpuno isti I novi

I won’t cry and won’t be gloomy
I’ll remember all the blissful days
That one when you called me a
Pet name and held me in your arms
...
Nonchalantly noticing
Clouds, dispersed all over
The momentarily clear,
Spring-blue sky.
...
I saw your hand
Moving through the air,
Inviting me closer.
A place in the middle of

There was a poem with
Opening lines
How do I love you?
Let me count the ways.

I was born in Croatia and moved to the USA in 1986. My creativity is expressed in various artistic media, from painting, photography, pottery to my most loved hobby - poetry writing. I started to write poetry as a teenager and continued to write over the years. Prior to emigrating to the USA, my poetry was written exclusively in my native Croatian language. Around 1998 I was encouraged to create my first poetry in the English language. Since then most of my work is written in the English language. I participate annually in the poetry readings through my association with poets from Croatia based in NYC, in the events “ The Evening of Croatian Poetry”. The organization is relatively new; first two events were organized in New York City, I last participated at the one poetry reading event in San Pedro, California, where the book “Letters to my Croatia” was promoted and presented to public. I am sometimes participating in poetry readings in various clubs in New York City. URL for my website “Poetic Soul’s Home Page”: Http: //come.to/loretam)
Poetry Crayons
Some words should be written
with a black crayon on a black wall
To live only in the shadows of mind
Never to be read by anyone else
Today, I am writing on the wall
with the orange crayon in my hand
to display myself and to share a bit
All the words fall into here slowly
Like the mother rain pouring from
her throne over the children playing
Some words should only be written
With an orange crayon upon black walls.
