Writing poetry is always challenging for me, and in that challenge also, I find some fun. I chisel some forms, taking randomness as my companion. ABC Wednesday turns to the letter C today, and I choose to do a mirrored Nonnet form. C is for Camaraderie:
Darkness sees its shadow in moonlight
Blanket of stars covers our fear
Unfathomable meanings
Desperately I seek
Road to reveries
Fake crevices
Try to take
Despair
Mine
Night
Calmness
New silence
Rain of false care
Somehow it succeeds
Fear revealed, it escapes
Under this cascade of stars
Camaraderie takes shape soon
Hope covers mind, relieves its burden

Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Aren't you "The Perfect Poet" ? :)If you go on like this, one day you will be as known as Alfred Lord Tennyson and William Wordsworth. :DTry and write a book, seriously!
You are indeed an incredible poet! I love your words and your style! Hope your week is going well!Sylvia
Wonderful, wonderful poem, Leo. The structure is marvellous, and the message woven into your words is deeply felt.

Hi Leo..i was impressed.so I have followed you…i loved the poem and the hour glass shape..really well crafted and flowed wonderfully..thanks for sharing with One Shot..cheers Pete
May I say I loved this piece? And also I loved the visual of it's arrangement.
Hi Leo,I hope you get published, if you are not already. You do have a way with words. Brenda Bryant (Rinkly Rimes) and Carmen Henesey have published their poems and even have Amazon widgets on their blogs.My very best wishes,Anna(not my real name either)Anna's Cats
The power of hope indeed! When running from fears and all darknesses, hope is that rope one needs to hold on to, and climb back into a world of possibilities! A lovely poem! The picture is lovely… And the visual was really a treat to the eyes… heheh… I too had quite recently written a poem that "looked" like a vase… So it's very nice to see a poem that has shape (well, literally and figuratively) :)Keep up the awesomeness!
Interesting form you've written this one in – the hourglass. As the top empties, the bottom fills. Appropriate!
The moon beckons me againto a poet who searchesdeep withindiscover and probethe truthsbeneath her glowthanks Leo for the quest under the moonso glad you could shine some light the direction of One Shotsmiles from the Moon
I enjoyed reading that. I no nothing of poetry, but think it must have taken time and thought to come up with words that would create that shape. Impressive!
Very cool shape– Eric Satie is smiling!http://mairmusic.wordpress.com/
