Poem Artwork

 

Grand Lady dropped her jewels today 

They fell from fingertips  

Across a pristine landscaped yard

and hedges neatly clipped. 

I watched as judges picked them up

intent of none to keep,

shoved anima in garbage bags

to mount a landfill heap.

No caution slows aesthetics’ whim

Razed woodland’s pulse subsides

and Nature bows her head to morn

For grandeur as it dies.

 

Survive could we with wild offense 

where tailored lawns unbound

leave Conifer's sweet offering

majestic on Her ground  

We spit into the open womb

With greed’s propensity

Till anguish births no more of us

In truth’s reality

This fine piece is both polished with sapient thought and rustic with emotive reverie; it teases me towards a reverent respect for the tonal qualities and an awe of the theme. Nicely done, Lynette.

I sense the influences of
Shakespeare woven throughout this
compelling verse that flows so effortlessly.
Just a remarkable display of what discipline
and fortitude can produce. An A+
Blessings and hugs ...

Stunning. Your verses provide substance for reflection, Lynette. Love and best wishes,
