Oh what emotion I do amass
During journeys of imagination.
Wrapped in a sweet giddiness
A pleasurable timelessness
Pervades moments of elation.
Yet, when all is said and done
I may n'er take another journey.
May die happily -- here 'neath the sun
While sprawled upon my back yard lawn
Basking in visualized imagery.
beautiful work here my friend...the finely tuned cinquains are perfect...the theme is universal...imagery is rich and colorful...all in all, this is a splendid work.
I see a wonderful world in your imagination, Gwen. The things we see through our mind's eye, lying on our backs in the grass of our backyards. Thank you Gwen, and as Liz said, "not a bad way to go" either. This was really enjoyed. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your sister, Barbie

ONE DEMANDS TWO THINGS OF A POEM. FIRSTLY, IT MUST BE A WELL-MADE VERBAL OBJECT THAT DOES HONOR TO THE LANGUAGE IN WHICH IT IS WRITTEN.

WHAT THE POET SAYS HAS NEVER BEEN SAID BEFORE, BUT, ONCE HE HAS SAID IT, HIS READERS RECOGNIZE ITS VALIDITY FOR THEMSELVES.” – W. H. Auden (Wystan Hugh Auden)

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.

Welcome home. You've been missed. A much needed break from the sad news about the Texas flooding, your peaceful words: thank you. Beautifully penned.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Sometimes, those trips can be marvelous, too.
