For Victoria C Slotto ~ dVerse Meeting the Bar ~Word Artists, Grab a Brush and Write!– ~ Treasure Hunt In The Sea ~

-




Oh so brazen audacious Gold,
floating in glorious celestial spheres
now visible now disappeared
Is it poetic art of the mystic sonneteer
or the work of the mischievous Kobold?

 What pirates of the Carribean
 may eye it to loot daring to
 slash the seven headed 
sea serpent brute ?

 Pieces of Eight -Pieces of Eight!
Long John Silver may say-
as you glitter blend and  sway 
 unfold from thunder ebonic to 
flaming flying flashing furious forms
from deep stokehold darkness to fiery storms

 Lo behold, marigold in the open seas
moving, trailing the Master Wardens
No one knows how many miles you travel
carrying the  lightest load, you unravel
mysteries of life, reflect the Supreme Power

 remain unsold precious and cool
no one can steal nor collect in a pool
endless vapours hot flares creating energy
Giving  all in  unlimited un measureable shower'

Wow! I love the painting--is it yours? And the gold, the marigold, the mythic reference (new to me)--just an exquisite energy filled hunt for sea treasure!

Lots of energy and movement in this poem, and the painting is glorious, nearly leaping off the canvas!!

Love how you used the sonnet form to metaphorically tell us of your art...mystical yet downright believable! Marigold is wonderful here.

Great metaphor. There is some serious alliteration in this that seems to work well for the subject. Fun to read aloud.

For POETS UNITED Midweek Motif ~ Summer Solstice ~ The Earth Stands Still ~

The Earth stands still while we say tis the Sun up all day, shining stronger getting hotter come what may, who  can put a shade across tis not a car that you drive in  so you can cover the windscreen and block the heat- how days become long and nights become short,when the heart is heavy and grief is strong,when blood spills spurts spreads and flows,strange power shows,slows time dragging it to a still point,Earth seems stilled- as is the breath of a loved one,who feels the heat or cold when guns are sold to all,the license to shoot and kill is handed as protection,who is protecting who is killing?  acceptance and non-acceptance is in the inner will' Unreal cities,unreal people, so unlike what we expect War war and again war-when will it end,terror strikes Shelter is scarce, fashion abounds and all is a show off!  young dead glorified on the mini screen,dying for respect for what now? half the barren land, minerals in rang...
