A Blue Jewel On Black Velvet Poem by * Sunprincess *
A Blue Jewel On Black Velvet
planet earth is my special home, and this home I love
the mountains I love, the desert I love, and the sea I love
and I especially love, fluffy white clouds above!
altogether, I receive pleasure from my home
like if holding sand, in the palm of my hand
or walking upon dirt, rocks, clay or even mud!
truly, I feel happiness is enjoying home
like a walk on a sunny day, in the month of may
seeing flowers and trees, grass and leaves!
and I feel, bliss is the enjoyment of home
like whistling a tune, in the month of june
feeling cool water, air, and warmth of the sun!
all of these aspects of home, are life's necessity
anywhere on earth I roam, I am enjoying home
this planet is special, this blue jewel is my home!
Blessed are those who feel pleasure and pride in one's home..... Let this 'blue jewel' with precious human life in it continue to adorn the universe.... A lovely write! !
I was immediately drawn to read this poem because the title is such a vivid image - it's like a haiku - a poem complete in just one image. But I was surprised that you fleshed it out into a poem embracing all of Spring in May/June, the loveliest 8 weeks on our jewel of a planet surrounded by night. Do you know Ezra Pound's poem IN A STATION OF THE METRO? In about 1910 he reduced a 30 line poem to: The apparition of these faces in the crowd; /Petals on a wet, black bough. Amazing! That's why he's considered one of the creators of Modern Poetry!
Comparing your home to a blue jewel on earth. Very good thoughts and feelings. Home is where the heart is. A sweetly composed write. Poets are rich here on PH. We receive a lot of valuable thoughts, comparisons, inspiration, exposure and a tremendous amount of talents and support.
What a wonderful poem it is where your first priority of love is with your home... sweet home. I like the line...... I am enjoying my home this planet is special, this blue jewel is my home! .... very nice
I liked how you put the title, blue jewel equals earth, black velvet equals universe.
You show so much care and love for your home and this blue planet, our home to all living creatures.Very beautiful poem, thanks for sharing.
