Here‘s #WilliamBlake‘s famous #Poem
about the sick #rose #BlueSkyPoets
#photography

O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy

her heart believed
every word without hesitation

never thinking twice
never questioning the strange behavior

until reoccurring lies appeared
becoming her crucial #moment of departure

The maple bleeds
A vibrant red
A velvet carpet
Softly spread

The wind plays music
Through the leaves
A choir of dry
Dancing leaves
-Jel

i never dreamed i'd be writing again
nor arriving at a new turning point

somehow disappointment led me here
at a #moment of uncertainty

expressing emotions that paralyzed my heart
& pierced my soul with grief

chaotic #moments
become amplified reminders
that life waits for no one

best to remain still
while quietude gains strength
before moving ahead with your next decision

Time is an #island,
unless it is an isthmus...
then, "Merry Isthmus."

plastic & refuse
tossed upon oceans remorse

accumulated abuse
human misuse

cause & affect

Beneath packed snowfall
lie autumn's crinkled leaves, each
pending spring's unclench

he
totally obsessed
with her perfection
mystery gifts
appeared each day

there
was no way
to dissuade him
a #spineless #sycophant
on the verge to play

she
cut him off with #valor
one swift #kiss
of #goodbye

a #poltroon #blurredly denied

I had a teacher
when I was at Art College
who went to a conference
about the colour brown
I swear this is true
I would prefer to be immersed
in the colour blue

Seldown's Iyla White,
did hail from the Isle of Wight—
where it seldom hailed.

slow mental decay
fetid and festering fear
smells like victory
