While waiting for my turn at doctors. I thought of writing a blitz for B type of poems sponsored by constance la france

"I have been a stranger in a strange land." Bible, Exodus 2:22 I have been a stranger I have been in a strange land Land of forsaken frangipanis Land of black diamonds Diamonds never decay Diamonds forever sparkle Sparkle like neon fireflies Sparkle amidst darkness Darkness depicting light Darkness illuminating skies Skies sketched in topaz tints Skies mirroring my spirit Spirit of a forlorn wanderer Spirit of a firm believer Believer veiled unseen Believer sings hymns unheard Unheard sagas of truth Unheard tunes of time Time twirls through confusion Time enveloped in silence Silence is a fragrant dialect Silence is misunderstood Misunderstood yet deafening Misunderstood monologues Monologues of the strawberry moon Monologues of sunflower scriptures Scriptures of sacred seasons Scriptures lost in deserted dunes Dunes of healing heartbeats Dunes of forgotten dreams Dreams of a midnight Jasmine Dreams of a faded star Star that guides the raven dusk Star that flickers pink gold Gold is the color of faith Gold ribboned with hope Hope is an emerald home Hope is a thriving tulip Tulip personifies awakening Tulip honeyed in harmony Harmony from serenades of serenity Harmony of singing sunrise Sunrise painted in poetry Sunrise and rainbows Rainbows with quartz runes Rainbows of colored revelations Revelations unnamed Revelations untold Untold… Unnamed…

IE, this is a wonderful journey and exploration. The observations feel like amazement welcoming the taking on of a strange and new set of circumstances. Truly a pleasure to read and enjoy. Makes me feel like every minute is part of a new experience. Makes me smile internally and look forward to whatever will be.

You have done well with this format Dear Ink. This explores beautifully and metaphorically a wanderer through a strange space filled with beauty and loneliness. I love the downplay of darkness, light, and faith. I love the power of hope it portrays and the weight and significance of silence. The mystery of the piece itself and the beauty of Nature. "Silence is misunderstood Misunderstood yet deafening." Very powerful words. Congratulations on Your POTD Dearest Ink. Hugs.

Congratulations on your POTD Empress! Blitz form suits you. Far-away strange lands are always of interest to me. I like " Star that guides the raven dusk Star that flickers pink gold" most. Bright Blessings & b0l

Dearest Inky, congratulations on your POTD! Your amazing imagery is so vividly set off in your contrasting couplets. The cadence of your matching lines is so melodic set off wonderfully by the "blitz" formatting. This would be perfect if read aloud emphasizing the perfection and harmony found our natural world! So delighted for you! High fives and best wishes for the contest. Blessings of rainbows, tulips, sweet jasmine to you! Samzy

Dear Inky, many congratulations with this amazing POTD. This is an intriguing form and I would imagine quite challenging to keep the flow going but not under your immense command sweet one. I love all your lines and the artistic use of colour from your multi talented, colourful pen. ‘Skies sketched in topaz tints’ ‘ silence is a fragrant dialect’ ‘ sunrise painted in poetry’- gorgeous! Love all the vivid imagery here which makes it so captivating. The last few stunning lines are so poignant.

Gosh this is so good. And a Bible verse as theme? You know I'm on it. "Monologues of the strawberry moon, Dreams of midnight jasmine, Sunrise painted in poetry." What's not to love? Enjoy your day day of sunshine and rainbows
