View Full Version : Love redefined

A pearl drop secluded in a sea-shell
A rain drop clothed in a cloud
A dew drop encasing a rainbow
A sea weed coral crowned
A moon beam trickling through the window
A wee wish in the heart enthroned
A lavender dream lacing the lashes
A secret whispered aloud
A hint, a glint, a smile , a tint
A throb, a pain, a sob
A coax, a cajole, a craving
Indeed, a mischief lurking around
A touch, a sigh, a hum, a high
A moment lived profound
A blush, a splash, a jolt, a hush
A mist in a maze of shrouds

Very Nice. In fact this can be considered as a new rhyme scheme (the first word of a line). Each stanza has it's own identity and I specially liked the third one. Great work. Thank you for letting me enjoy this piece.

Very interesting construction.
Don't know why I flashed back to a Robert Plant song: "Tall Cool One" - perhaps the cadence I was using to read in places (dunno)... they're not really close at all.
I think the key to the whole poem is the line: "Indeed, a mischief lurking around" which breaks the 'A' mantra.
( to self ) "OK, time to put your toys away in the attic." ( self ) "OK".

Thanks Adityasam. I presume from your avatar that you are an Indian. I just wrote these lines as part of one of my blog posts and then thought otherwise and uploaded herein.
But I'd digress a bit here. My attention is drawn to your tag-line:"Project Planet Pluto". Do you feel sad for Mr. Pluto as much as I do?:smile5:

Thanks, Stately. Actually, I am a bit confused/hesitant/double minded about the title of the poem. I think it should be just "LOVE" because as much as you redefine or revisit the essence remains the same - evergreen and ever-elusive.:smile5:

Yes I am an Indian, but I can't understand how you presumed it from my avatar.
Yes I am a fan of Little Pluto and I will fight for it to regain it's Planetship :sad:

How nice! I feel for Mr. Pluto too, the demoted one. This is what happens when somebody wants to do things differently from the rest of the world.:smile5:

This seems a pretty thorough cataloguing of all the moods and the incidents of love, and then the final line lifts the whole thing emotionally to a level of wistfulness. Well done.

There is a simple beauty about this poem - the structure and the complete lack of adjectives (apart from 'wee' and 'lavender') allowing the reader to create their own interpretations on each word.

I like it a lot.
I like the spaces you leave
for me to fill. This is very good.
...peace...

Thank you. Pm. Intent was to highlight the mysticism attached to this emotion. Wistfulness? Hmmmmmmmm........got to do with state of mind I suppose.

Hi Hack!
Did I leave spaces?
I was being over descriptive.
Don't know now.
If you say so........
The spaces are between the lines. The lines are, by themselves, only a list of things. The connecting thread is, of necessity, supplied by the reader. That thread is twisted with our personal experience, and quite unique to each reader...peace...

Hmmmmmmm! I get it. You're right
