Solitude
sorenbarrett said:

I often wonder how much of a poem is the poet. I write many that are not but most contain some part of me. The sadness in this poem rocks the core and urges me to shout out Do not give up, it is when the going is toughest that the peak of the mountain is near. It is out of struggles and pain that most good art is born. A lovely piece.
\"only she can hear the music
she stands alone to dance
writing poems and fables
in a poetry ridden trance\"
A wonderful stanza

Not only rare but beautiful in color as they drop and raise. I find their different colors solace for the soul from the reads and yellows, whites and iridescent blues to ones that seem to try to communicate with numbers on their wings. A beautiful metaphor and poem.

Rare as is this love Teddy. Personally, I just love when your Muse of love comes out with a wet quill. Beautifully penned dear poetess. 🦋👍

The One Dreams are Made of

Teddy, you had me \'goin here. I think I\'ll just believe it, cause it makes me smile all over. I love his ballads, and so do the ladies at the nursing home when we sing them together, we\'re of that age. Thank you for this beautiful fantasy, or was it?

You tell a good yarn, Teddy. As I read with one side of my brain (never quite sure which side) the other was trying to summon dates, your age (your disclosure) and see if.. and then your very last line relieved me...and relief it woz...

Dreams are wonderful things, the fuel of inspiration and drive that leads to accomplishments beyond what is otherwise possible. The are the healing salve for the soul. A wonderful imaginative write. Love Elvis songs and one that left us too soon.

You tell us it was a bus, but i believe it might have been a carriage for you , Queen of that moment in time and a parade of your loyal senses....
Good stuff, Teddy.
