To the Starlit Night And he was a visionary Painting his obituary As he bled down to gravity The pulldown...

Beyond the Pane
Villanelle: "Beyond the Pane" B. Marquardt-Alexander with Sylvia Plath and Ima Gen (credited to all) In sunlight's haze, I stare beyond the pane, A world outside, where love and joy remain. Where freedom calls, my heart begins to strain. The grass whispers secrets, as I lie in vain, Longing to flee, to leave this heartache's stain. In sunlight's haze, I stare...

Premium Member A Vanishing Sight
From a lonely country road I saw in the distance on my bicycle a young couple in traditional dress lovely, in the evening sunlight crossing the wide winter paddy field . They might be returning home from a ceremony. The sight was charming in the setting sun. Today over the paddy fields structures coming up pushing nature away further and further . Schools,shops, and residential buildings...

ERODED VIRTUES
Does modernity's veil conceal nakedness within? Does civilization's stride lead to exposure's sin? How has religion's influence shaped culture's gentle face? And tradition's timeless values, have they been erased? I recall a childhood wrapped in decency's warm fold Parents guiding young hearts, with virtues to uphold Society's nurturing arms, cradling innocence with care Churches stood as beacons, shining values beyond compare But now,...

‘Tis not for the ninety and nine He goes On a dangerous midnight search. ’Tis not for the ninety and nine who sit In security safe in the church, Whose paths are set in the well-fenced bounds Of conventional Sunday suits, While the songs of their souls sound dreadfully cold To the biker in leathers and boots. ‘Tis not for the ninety and...

Traditional Fairytale
A poor little girl's gone missing, Where's the knight to rescue her, There he is and he's insisting, He will find poor little Blair. First he found a treacherous lake, Full of sirens so alluring, Slaying them was a piece of cake, And the bloody screams reassuring. After sweet song came a homely village, Full of helpful denizens aplenty, They'd seen no girl so the...
