Notes About The Poem

I'm not sure if one would define this writing as a shape poem also known as concrete. 

It's written so each block of the body of the work lines up perfectly. I do this so it has somewhat of a visual appeal. It's difficult to shape the piece in this way. However it does have its rewards.

 

Bliss Abound

it’s not its striking unique slate of tones
as if vincent had risen from his century
long sleep
it is not nature’s rich hypnotic melodies 
or the slim fingers of gusts touches our
very cores 

stirs emotions in the coldest of humans or the 
crackling sound under our new walking shoes 

it is not the acorn berets chipmunks discard below 
white oaks once they devour its scrumptious meat

not the wagon rides or the hot chocolates that
stamps its marker on children’s innocent faces

it’s not the bliss(greater than any gift) our kids 
ingratiates us in displaying their unadulterated 
love returned continuously and unconditionally 

this adventure reminds us of our blessings 
a welcomed little something beyond cities 

however it’s not any one single happening 
of this season which fills our hearts warm

it’s the multitude of many moments 
the ones greater than any reality or 
of all the fantasies found in dreams 

deep within our fortresses built 
it’s all the endearing memories

autumn leaves 

armand~

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Good to know, my friend and there's nothing wrong with experimentation either!

I still also write as I always have. I wanted some variety for my second book soon to be published. The form believe it or not is an anti thesis to the title. Why, because I’m still the same little imp I’ve always been. In fact I also wrote a version of this poem in my original style which I actually like better than this style which handcuffs me at times. Maybe all the time.

So true. All seasons regale us with memories not to be forgotten. A very pertinent poem. Blessings.
