  Poetry

  maelstrom of emotion.

  my heart doth burst asunder, when by thy grace it acts.

  a confused piece of beating flesh.

  Thanks for sharing that poem, Little Toe. I enjoyed it. It's a condition we've all experienced.

  this thing called me.

  there are times when my soul is like the placid pond .

  and there are times when it boils like the raging sea.

  Bravo, Frenchy! Rather, should i say 'French Knight.'

  I agree with the sentiment so well expressed. Thanks for sharing that with us.

  I'm sorry for the angst you suffer from time to time and for the loss of your father and brother. We all inherit certain tendencies to cope with in our genes, don't you agree?

  Oh Frenchy,
  That is sooo beautiful. It is sad, but yet so realistic. It moves a person to think deeply, which is good.

  I have written several more poems as of late but don't have any to put up here.
  Please continue to share yours.

  A Down Side to Hope?

  the down side of hope.

  Oh! Just a quick thought that is relevant to both of our poems about unrealised hope:

  "The world: take it easy, but take it"
  Woody Guthrie

  And, in some ways your writing reminds me of a book by Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides). He has such a beautiful, pictorial way of writing.

  Have you published anything? I think you could.

  Have a great Saturday!

  Dear Frenchy,

  As the 'Supreme One' of this board might say: "Dayum!" Your writing is the most beautiful i have ever seen. I'll be printing this thread out and saving (and savoring) your beautiful poetry & prose. It will inspire a poem or two in me.

  Without seeming self-effacing, but wanting to be realistic, i almost feel embarrassed by my amateur efforts. BUT i'm not! So please don't think anything about it. I love your writing.

  As far as the benefits to the writer, it's absolutely true. I've been penning poems about matters of deep concern to me. I'm finally having the time to understand the drive some have to create. And learn.

  When i've written a poem about a deep concern, it's as if i've captured the essence of it and no longer need be so troubled.

  Actually, it seems more powerful, for now at least, than prayer used to seem.

  Well, fellow poet (& i flatter myself*), thanks for all of this and we'll be in touch. I think i, Audrey, have a kinship with The French Knight. But my alter-ego is just as likely to say "dayum!!"

  Warmly,
  Audrey

  * I'm not 'fishing for compliments,' as my mum used to say. It's just that i'm realistic.

  Hello Frenchy,

  You are such a beautiful writer. I can tell you're very thoughtful and introspective. I have just discovered this method of expression and it has been enormously helpful.

  Thank you for sharing your intimate thoughts with me. It was wonderful reading.

  Warmly,
  Audrey

  One more comment, Frenchy. Your signature line was also written by The French Knight then. It has meant so much to me at this time in my life! You'll never know! I would like permission to use that also in my painting.

  Please let me know.

  Good morning, French Knight, sir!

  That is a wonderfully sad poem and haven't we all been there! Don't you agree that writing in poetry is great therapy? Most of my poems are of that ilk, which is why i post only the WT ones.

  I have copied your poem "I waited." I am planning a painting that incorporates written poems, some of my own, and some others. May i use yours, with the French Knight author as author?

  It is very beautiful. It really captures the essence of what i was trying to express in my poem above.

  Audrey

  P. S. If i didn't thank you for saying you liked my poem, thank you. It means even more since you write 'em too.

  Hi Frenchy,

  Our posts crossed, and i now see that you have fully answered my questions in the most beautiful prose. Thanks for the explanation of that gallant fellow. I hope to see more of him as he is very clever and noble.
