Happiness is a Redhead, and Other Poetries

Happiness is a Redhead
The beginning of a new romance
Awakens in me,
A fire struck with indelicate ease
As if existing only to blaze
Within
Potential to warm-
Preserve life or destroy
Others take refuge
For the warm heart is contagious
Exhilarating energies are born
From new orgasms-
So much, that
The Tao of Swimming
Current mood: 
happy

The Spring Sun is tender and triumphant!
Breathes new life to the Earth;
flickers of light, dance over the undulating waves of emerald waters.
To swim in the spring time is rejuvenating-
strokes are lithe and energetic;
as free spirited as dolphins fins
who rejoice without fear-
their child like giggles echo -
Two friends reunited, one year after a funeral
Current mood: 
sad

Greetings, my old friend -
aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
( hello )
Goodbye,
( please, go )
All of this time has past -
Strangers on a Train
Current mood: 
creative

Yesterday,
I watched
A fat man enter the subway
He had
A large, steaming
Pizza
Permeating
Excited
Thrilled
Our eyes met
And suddenly
He was
Naked.
I exited
The train
Next stop
The numbing sting of betrayal
Current mood: hurt
Category: hurt Writing and Poetry
Honesty,
is now
my bitter enemy.
Naive confessions
are reckless-
and I am bruised
and bloodied
and beaten;
for the heart,
is a ruthless traitor.
hi jennifer, very interesting display. you have a great deal of talent and good insight. thank you for sharing it with us, best regards, sue thomthank you, Susan! Best, jennifer
Some powerful emotions in your work. I like your brevity which adds to the impact of each piece. Far too many poets these days, overwrite their work. This is very honed, exposing the raw emotion and striking the reader intensely. Some need a little 'proof reading' for 'typos' e.g. Strangers on a Train - the last line is in the wrong tense. A way to overcome this type of thing is to read it aloud - slowly with real annunciation. If you read it quickly, you will probably not 'see' the typo. Well done, though. I enjoyed your work.thank you, Hannah Quinn! btw, i love your name! i think that i've corrected the error. thanks again! Best, jennifer
Hi Jennifer, you have such a gift for writing. Your heart is displayed well in your poetry. Thank you for sharing it with us. Blessings to you! Teresathank you, Teresa! :)
Your poetry is lovely. One question, though. Did you intend for the font to be so small? It's a bit hard to read...perhaps you could enlarge? Keep up the good work. Your heart shines through.
is it? my apologies..i like the small font, however; as it visually adds to the generalised feeling of sensitivity in the poetry. a sort of an e.e.cumming's tradmark? lol Thank You!! Cheers, jennifer
Very sensitive creations that express you and will I am sure bring thoughts to ponder to others.thank you very much, sir! your comments are much appreciated! Best, jennifer
I really enjoyed Strangers on a Train!Thank you, Ben Morrish! i'd tried to add some existentialist thought near the end. for example, i might have ended it with "...Naked" but i chose to continue with the thought that we are all truly alone on this journey Best, jennifer
Jenmister, Nice stuff! Writing well oftentimes requires less, yes? And you do this well. Thanks again for the poems! I've got a few poems you might like to look at, that's is, if you're interested. Thanks.will do!
