▣ Poetry

In the past I wrote a lot of poetry feeling that I didn't have time to write anything longer but wanting to get a thought or idea down before I forgot it. In the last few years I haven't written much poetry but it is a fast and valid way to catch a moment in time, a thought before it is lost, or to paint a word picture of a scene.
For Memoirs writers: Remember a scene from your childhood and try to paint a concise word picture of it using a poem, rhymed or unrhymed. It's amazing what can be pictured in such a few words.

Love of Life
Glimpsing
Loving you, when things are right,
is like happy birdsong, mist-filled rainbows, or
a harlequin romance.
Being together becomes a melodious duet,
chimes from a bell, that peals out over pastoral scenes,
happy, happy, sounds;
A celebration of life!
Let’s keep it beautiful and bright,
keep ourselves faithful and secure,
sing a song of love forever more.
What we can do sometimes;
we can do all times,
by repeating what we did right over and over.
We can make it last forever
My happiness is rooted in your love;
I hope you feel the same.
