Any sentient being knows
The birth and rebirth of a rose –
Or, really, any other flower;
All unfold in a seeming hour,
...
At first was giv’n a fleeting sign
Of winter warned and flower’d thorn;
Not of note or of great design,
Still it caused the angels to mourn.
...
The other day you said to me,
“Sift through all your memory
And tell me, if compelled to decide,
In which confine you would abide
...
How covert can a dagger be
Impaled in the negligent heart,
Who from their mindless sanctity see
No knowledge of use impart?
...
‘Twixt darkened clouds of rampant rain
(Beleaguered by gusts of snowy drift) –
As to bless the trees, the sunlight fain
Would, as it could, persistently strain
...
I know not e’en if in my heart
Your face is held in love’s esteem,
Or, as it seems to me, a beam
Between us keeps our lives apart.
...
For What Is Lost
Any sentient being knows
The birth and rebirth of a rose –
Or, really, any other flower;
All unfold in a seeming hour,
Then wither! And as the petals fall,
Killing what is dearest of all
(In flowers) – I remember then
In an hour, it will bloom again.
No, I mourn not for a rose,
But for they – lacking the repose
Of knowing of a safer soul –
Who let their minds’ tenets lull,
Or never treasured any at all!
I envy not what miseries befall
When fools take sloth for firm control,
For what is lost is lost in whole.
Talented, in one word. After reading a small sample of your work I'd say your stage presence and the content of your poems are more important. You seem to have your own style and a strong command over your work. Continue to improve and keep writing. I want to keep reading.
Talented, in one word. I'll continue to keep an eye on your work, but continue to improve. After a small sample of your poems I would say at this point stage presence and the content of your poems are more important because you seem to already have your own style and a strong command over your work. A good start, keep writing
