Poems in Comment

Over the passed few years, I’ve published several poems on my web site. Many are written in response to creative writings posted by friends, and, therein, are commonly entitled Poem in Response, or, Poem for a Friend.

However, I also oftentimes include poetry in my comments, a few examples of which I’ve cited below…

Title of Post With Link: “Her Cottage by the Sea (audio excerpt)“
Poetess: Michele Lee

On the wings of a love story that flies into emotions of an audience hungry for an honest, romantic read, your tale tantalizes and tugs at heart strings beautifully, as a hopeful pull into happiness.

Title of Post With Link: “The Poetry of Abstract Art“
Poetess: Kym Gordon Moore

Painting poetry
A haiku of seventeen
Syllables of art

Title of Post With Link: “Richland Creek“ – *
Poetess: Holly Hunter

Seeing your beautiful smile
Getting underway
Both elevates my spirits
And brightens my day

Over the passed few years, I’ve published several poems on my web site. Many are written in response to creative writings posted by friends, and, therein, are commonly entitled Poem in Response, or, Poem for a Friend.

However, I also oftentimes include poetry in my comments on other sites, in response to various posts of friends which I’ve enjoyed reading. As such, and without further adieu, here are a few samples which I’ve penned…

Title of Post With Link: “Rise Lady, Rise (audio)“
Poetess: Michele Lee

As nature has shared her golden glow, so too, through pen, your spirit does flow.

Title of Post With Link: “A Girl in Painting“
Poetess: Annabel

What better way
to start the day
than to see your lovely face

Words shared, so kind
Straight from the heart
A good morning to embrace

Title of Post With Link: “Percurso“ (Portuguese, meaning Route)
Poetess: Carla Milho

Like you, dear Carla, whose enduring beauty shines brightly day after day, so too do your words and wisdom glow with the reflection of love.

Title of Post With Link: “We Are Poetry Hosted by the Library of Johnson C. Smith University“
Poetess: Kym Gordon Moore

As water, your words flow with poetic fluidity, nourishing with inspiration the imaginations of those open to growth.

Title of Post With Link: “The World Outside“
Poetess: Holly Hunter

Interlaced with threads of sadness, where shadows fade into night like days of the future passed, blended with blues into a blur of yesteryear, this half empty outer world exists in stark contrast to the full beauty you exude, an inner glow of which can brighten every tomorrow.

Title of Post With Link: “Old Dreams – A Poem“
Poetess: Dawn Pisturino

Love endures with memory
Through these lines of poetry

Title of Post With Link: “Holy Days of Unimagnamos on Spillwords Press“
Poetess: Cindy Georakas

May with spring you sing
A song of harmony
As friendships blossom
So beautiful to see

Title of Post With Link: “The Gravitational Pull of Poetry“
Poetess: Kym Gordon-Moore

Your poetry flows as the beauty of sound present in water cascading through a forest, which, when emerging from the trees to see the source, its movement washes over ones heart in a blanket of peaceful appreciation.

Title of Post With Link: “Closer to the Sun“
Poetess: Michele Lee

Desert thermals did elevate
In poetic flight to appreciate

Title of Post With Link: “Interlude“
Poetess: Holly Hunter

A dream in flight
– extreme delight
Each line your love shines through

It’s ecstasy
My dear Holly
This satin rendezvous

Poem for a Friend
This poem was written for Holly Hunter, a beautiful woman and talented poetess hailing from Florida. She’s a frequent source of my inspiration, a dear friend and someone whose company I truly appreciate. Please visit her site at House of Heart to enjoy her creative writings – thank you!
```
On astral winds
She drifts sublime
Across a starlit sky

Southern beauty
- Floridian
The apple of my eye

   Her waves of red
   Long, lustrous hair
   Accentuate delight

   Her gorgeous smile
   Spreads happiness
   Warming my heart at night

A cosmic trail
Illuminates
The path with which I'll flow

So, if one day
She welcomes me
Two hearts, as one, may grow
```

Poem in Response

Having read “A Leitura” (Portuguese, translated as The Reading), written by a very talented writer, beautiful woman and dear friend, Carla Milho – wherein she shares thoughts regarding emotion and perceptions – I was inspired to write this poem in response…

To see your eyes
As I awake
– my dream must have come true

Soothing, your smile
Warming, my heart
Together, here with you

© 2023 Phil Perkins

Message to Carla: Your green eyes captivate with a beauty so grand as to melt the hearts of those whose vision you enter. Were good fortune to cross my path, such that tomorrow would see us sharing time together, I would forever be blessed with your presence, to appreciate wholeheartedly the joy which you so humbly, yet abundantly, convey. You, my dear Carla, more than any other, have the power to make dreams come true.

Poem in Response

Holly Hunter is a very talented poetess, beautiful woman and dear friend hailing from Florida, and I encourage you to visit her web site, House of Heart, to enjoy her creative writings.

Having read her recent work, “Water for Lovers“, I was inspired to write this poem in response…

Weightless in the waters of Europa, we shall gaze upon Jupiter, inspired and breathless with awe. Then, pursue a trail of stars as we indulge in grand equatorial vistas of Mars, along the Tharsis Rise. Sojourners, we’ll return to sink our feet into the sands of Jost Van Dyke and wet our whistles at the Soggy Dollar Bar, as the Caribbean Sea glistens with life before our eyes, calling us to swim again.

Flowing curves, under pen
Laced of ink rippling wet
Words converge, fresh with love
Roses bloom in duet

After writing my recent Poem in Response, inspired by reading “The Dance“, a wonderful poem penned by the beautiful Floridian poetess, Holly Hunter, I wrote this follow-up poem…

Embracing time
Awake until twilight

Two hearts in tow
Drawn by the moon
Through waves of love, delight

Having read “The Dance“, written by the talented and lovely Floridian poetess, Holly Hunter – in which a beautiful redhead at the Sad Café holds the light of her heart in her hand – I was inspired to write this poem…

Rhythm in waves
They found the beach
To make the moon their own

Two hearts as one
One dance in sync
In love, never alone
