Sets Fire to the Rain
A nerve
hit
sharp;
ploughed under,
not
over the top
each
word
counts …
extraordinary pain
turned into
softened edges.
Mind sifted
heart gifted
delayed reaction
months later
returning
to check
state
of
consciousness.
Some angels
suffer
unduly
for their poetry.

Comp entry for "Doppelgänger: the DUP Oscars", hosted by highlyfunctional.

Extraordinary poetry that comes from extraordinary depths. On her DUP home page she notes: ‘About me’ - “sets fire to the rain”. A more apt summary is impossible to write.

Thank you Melia for your kind words. Duende is a very special poet I've admired since I first joined DUP. And interesting fact about tornados I didn't know. Best regards, Josh.

Thank you HF; every poem of hers I read virtually completely floors me. Thank you for the comment - and for instigating this excellent comp {I have more ... :)) }

Duende is an amazing soul & I miss her words here very much. You've done her justice, to be sure. Beautiful homage

Thank you Willow and for the RL. Yes, I miss words too. I value your comments & insights so I'm feeling good right now you think I've done her justice :))

Beautiful. I enjoy the spirit of your tributes. I am inspired to check out her writing. <3

Thank you Daniel. Absolutely well worth checking out (as a pejudiced fan of hers). Take a deep breath first before reading :))

You embodied the style and essence. That's a sign of a great writer. You've brought attention to others about her work and reignited interests.
Excellent work.
Excellent work.

Thank you Wally for the complement. She is a special talented poet and too good to be missed (as it were). I'm sure there are more I have not yet come across, and this Doppelgänger comp is showing me DUP poets I've never heard of.

Thank you Liam for checking in here, for the supportive comment - and for the RL. If you read some of Duende's poems, you'll know the "technique with a pen" on this poem was not just me, but pushed along too by Duende's powerful writes. And a belated welcome to DUP. Best regards, Josh.
