The Art of Poetry: A Journey Through Love and Self-Reflection
Written on
Chapter 1: A Devout Plea to My Inner Self
In the heart of autumn, beneath a canopy of trees, We find ourselves shielded from the world, Surrounded by the vibrant colors of fall, Embracing the call of nature, letting our worries unfurl. The trees, like gentle giants, cradle us, While the winds whisper soothing melodies of renewal. Words intertwine, stitching moments together, As our shared admiration becomes our costume in this act.
Can we craft verses free from the confines of scripted lines? To channel the essence of Whitman and Keats, Exploring visions of what life could truly embody, As our manuscripts intertwine, creating a dance of words. In this moment, as the stage lights dim, We face the earnest pleas of our true selves.
This piece, originally penned in November 1991, was titled “Tuesday” from my Seven Day Sonnet Series, a creation of my youthful college years.
Section 1.1: Reflections on Nature and Connection
Together, we stand under the embrace of the woods, Cradled in the warmth of the encroaching fall, As we surrender to the present moment, Allowing ourselves to answer nature’s beckoning call. The trees surround us like protective arms, While the winds uplift our spirits, offering salvation. Our words, like honey, flow with trust, Cut from the fabric of our mutual appreciation.
