L. V., I Found This Poem In A Pile Of Dead, Golden Leaves

September was a sparrow, but only in her poems.

- L. V.

Hibiscus and Sparrow (Detail)
by: Katsushika Hokusai, 1830

She stands on the edge of a many-story building and

- L. V.

takes a dive; eyes closed. When she opens them, she’s flying.

- L. V.

I guess it’s like trying to kill yourself by holding your breath—you just can’t.

- L. V.

September forgave herself, but only in her poems.

You're too kind, thank you! And YOU write so beautifully. Will be going through everyone's poetry as soon as I find free time—with my cup of tea.

Do you have any poets whos stuff you think i should give a read?

ABSOLUTELY!

First and foremost, everything that @randomshowerpoems has written himself. And @literaryvein has AMAZING poems as well. @most-ment too. And @accordingtolauren .

Then. Robert Frost, Harry Baker, Gregory Orr.

Would you like some individual poems as well?

BLACKBERRY WINTER

I like the simple pleasures of life:
The first bite into a ripe fruit, freshly plucked
from an overhanging branch
that was almost out of reach.
All you had to do was stand on the tip of your toes.

I like looking at the moon
through photographs you took.
How the angles tilt differently
from how I normally would see it.
How you artistically include the silhouette
of leaves from an unseen tree to frame each shot,
knowing I would mention it
and we’d have something new
to talk about in the next couple of minutes.
How I wish we could stretch this moment to an eternity.

- L. V.

L. V., i found this poem collecting dust in one of your old photographs

Detail of "Oude vrouw bij een kaars" ("Old woman with a candle") by Gerrit Dou, 1661

You
are alive.
No longer in
the same way that
people are alive but you
are alive to me in the same
way fire is alive. How it mesmerizes
with its light. Its warmth. How it
mesmerizes with its dance
with the gentlest
breeze.

- L. V.
