“every now and then”

show some love for the female poet

she sees possibilities that submissions present intrigue

the sensitivity in her verse is passion, it is so easy to know it

some words flow from genius and others from fatigue

 

she’ll  indite those words that delight  and invite you

then she will scorch you with her red heat

her words “every now and then”, soothe like the balsam of Peru

other lexes are all in a cage naked as a blank sheet

 

while other bards may try to provoke

don’t put her down; and let us not suppose

a moody critic: may whine that she is too baroque

but all her syllables are more than a caress can dare to compose

 

out in the backyard watch her helpless willow sway

and beauty are the images within her poetry

an itch that life cannot scratch away

they will never be half of her moiety


I am sure that such works do not exist

She desires to confront confinements; she is always in the fight

I praise her penciled words, and meanings we all have been kissed

 She can portray the spirits’ desire, while she keeps us burning bright

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I think this poet is so great that I had to create a whole folder to praise her works of art

I am absolutely speechless.

I am absolutely speechless. But my heart is warm and floating, you have no idea what this has done for me. This is the nicest, most beautiful thing anyone has ever  done for me. Oh my god.
