SILHOUETTED

Michael Edwards

SILHOUETTED

 

 

Footpath pointing

to the east:

glowing sky

rising sun.

 

Silhouetted:

lazy moors

distant hills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Septolet is a poem consisting of seven

lines containing fourteen words with a break

in between the two parts. Both parts deal

with the same thought and create a picture

    Thanks for SEPTOLETTING ~ Michael and the EUPHORIA (Freudian spello) to add a little colour for the workers ! Love the sentiment in the Poem reminds me of YESTERDAY 80+ F on the Essex Coast ~ even the SEA was warm ! I have written a MORPHIC Poem today to emphasis SHAPE ~ I was educated in a proper Secondary School where the SHAPE of a written poem was important. In JAPANESE HAIKU the visual impact is an important factor in the intrinsic beauty of the poem ~ I will present a DIABLO tomorrow ! Between us we may yet convince Members that the FORM of a POEM is just as important as its FUNCTION ! If it catches the EYE then it will engage the MIND ! Yours BRIAN

      oh how I do hope to see more different forms being tackled. I'm sorry to say I'm getting depressed by the constant flow of poetry posted as part of a personal therapy programme about personal relationships. There are not many poems which I read beyond the first few lines and I cry out for something written for the sheer love of poetry. Looking forward to the DIABLO Brian.

      I can see the picture Michael!

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks Lorna - painting with words eh ?

        And a fine picture this form of poetic expression creates Michael - - love those reds brightening your garden.

        It's funny, I have in my mind a memory of that place. But I've never been there! Thank you for sharing it.

          A lovely comment - one of the greatest compliments is when your poetry works for others - thanks SLR.

            I'm new to my poetic side but I'm trying to go back and read as many pieces as possible to "catch up" on everyone's style and voice. Definitely have to check out more of your work!
