a velvete essence.
Spun lavender
and rose,
hearted
like
vast blue skies
Purposeful
outstretched arms
wrapping souls
in simple
words
utterly empathic
Oh, love
unsurety, too.
shearing
deeply
Exploring,
finding myself—
my place.

Beauty spun into self-affirmation through imagery that is strong and vibrant. Really fine poem of self-exploration.

Re: Re. a velvete essence.
You're so nice to me, John. I wrote this quickly, this afternoon and have read it a few times since and can't really decide if I like it and if it's accurate in describing me or if I hate it and need to scrap it and start over....lol... it's definitely a challenge to try and describe yourself in 30 words....
That's for sure.....😁
All my appreciation for the list add here and on all the poems I'm lucky enough to have your insights and comments on, tonight.
Thank you for sharing your remarks and I am happy to read that you liked it.... hopefully I'll agree eventually... hahaha..
Much love and respect,

You need to explore your body or your mate can do it for you. Happy ending is in the works. Keep on writing.

Beautifully you. I adore the clarity. I have a tendency to turn my thoughts into riddles in my poetry. I'm trying to stop my love affair with complexity because it just stems from insecurity. It's not coming from a pure place. This poem is pure. The first stanza brilliant...that those were the first words you found in the exploration of you is just beautiful. Also, I love your profile picture. It is gorgeous!
Have a wonderful day, Blue 💙🤍💙

Ohhh Margo,. You're so amazingly kind. Ty for your comments.
I say don't force anything (as far as being complex) maybe attempt a new style poetically, like a minimalistic poem, just to see how it feels. My first attempts were laughable (still are at times) sometimes I feel that style in my bones other times I need that complexity, too...Yes, my insecurity will always howl from time to time... lol... just an idea...
💙💫💙
My gratitude is all yours, I'm so happy you enjoyed reading, my luv.
Warmest regards ✨ 💫 ✨

I agree with Ron ... this is so you ... again the structure ... it has a frame ... a body of its own ... unique ... the flow is spectacular ... short crisp lines ... my catnip ... awesome line breaks ... a little punctuation for emphasis ... the last stanza is simply perfect ... good luck B ...

Re: Re. a velvete essence.
You're very kind, lovely lady... apologies for the late reply... my aches and pains from my second Covid shot kicked my butt today... I wrote a poem today but in all honesty, after rereading it, I'm not quite sure what my impetus was..... haha.... small price to pay... I hope tomorrow has my stamina returning and these aches subsiding...
I appreciate you taking the time to leave your coveted feedback, LilD. I enter comps with trepidations sometimes, so I appreciate the boost! and well wishes too ;)
Warmest regards ✨

These confessional pieces give so much insight to the writer's passion and inspiration and yet they also create a mystery.
Excellent write Blue.
