Lone Dream
days I acquiesce to God, a lividity prints itself upon my head
age summons memories, of starving cats, playing pennywhistles in an alley
my pen spreads ink, keen to write peculiar dreams, as I slumber on a barren bed

Mich, I hope that you are having an amazing day. It is an honor always to be published here on Hotel. Thank you for having me. Today is my daughter’s birthday. Trying to pick some things for a little boutique to get to her this morning when she gets to work. I am so grateful for being able to get things on-line as she is about to travel again. Blessings to you and yours this weekend and happy Easter too. Love from both of us!
Beautiful poem! xo
Dearest Carol Anne thank you for reading my kind friend. I hope the sun is shining on your face. I am so happy to hear from you again. The voice of strength. I feel like God is blessing me when I hear from you. I wish you lots of love and many blessings this weekend. Happy Easter to my friend. Love you Joni
Absolutely sublime poetry, Joni. I adore the classical feel of this piece, from the imagery to the vocabulary to the flow…perfection all around. I tip my hat to you, Wordsmith. 😊🙏
You are one of my all time favorite poems Mike so when I get compliments from you I know I have done pretty good. I felt this one in my heart.
I don’t know about you but sometimes I start writing and the words come from deep down and I just write and am grateful the words come. I am like you Mike, I have times when I just can’t seem to write and when it is forced you can tell. I usually pray for help and in a few days the words will start to flow. I know I have heard that before about you, maybe it was an interview perhaps, honestly I don’t remember but I know that you have said that. Big hugs my friend. Love you, Joni
Touching and meaningful, Joni! ❤
This one goes a little deep Tim, I am glad you got the meaning of the piece. Some time the meaning gets a bit lost within the metaphors, so as a writer yourself, I am not surprised you got it. Hope you have some nice weather this weekend. The wind blows here a lot and it really doesn’t bother me like I thought it would, even the rain doesn’t bother me. Thank you for your kind comments and your great support, it has always meant so much to me. Love you Joni
Congratulations Joni, I love your words strung with wonderful metaphors❣️💓
Thank you so much Cindy. I am glad you enjoyed that piece. It is truly about loneliness the yearning for something that is missed. Of course I am sure you got the meaning of the poem. Although we moved into this beautiful house in VA on three acres we miss our two animals that past in two years and I miss our little paradise tucked in the woods completely surrounding us, but leaving was the right thing to do, once they cut that road into the back of our tree line, all that nature preserve destroyed for three multi-million dollar homes. In NC you don’t need to do that, you can get a gigantic home for a million dollars and 4,000.00 square feet. Anyway it displaced so many animals. The woman from Seattle that moved into our house has already left. That I feel badly about but of course she knew about the building but coming from Seattle having an acre and a half with a nice size house, seems a paradise. Big hugs and love Cindy.
I love the imagery in your poem, dear Joni!
Thank you so much Dawn. You are a sweetheart. Hope you feel the sunshine on your cheek tomorrow what ever do tomorrow my friend. Love Joni🥰
Congratulations, dearest Joni! So beautifully written! ♥️🌹Your poem touches my heart.
I hope you have a blessed and wonderful week ahead. Sending you lots of love and big hugs
Oh thank you my dear friend. It means a lot to me. I am looking forward to my book coming out April 5th, I will feel so much relief when I actually see it is for sale! I know this sounds silly but people have been texting, calling even Mich’s friends in India and China asking where my book is, would you say a prayer that my anxiety will calm down and that the book will in fact finally be available? My anxiety is one thing I will never be completely free of, and then I beat myself up about not handing this over to God. I have strong faith so why can’t I just hand this over? Thank you my dearest friend. Perhaps one day my anxiety will lesson, it is certainly my prayer. Thank you for your precious friendship too. Love you and you have a great week too. 🙏❤️🙏
Love you too, Joni!
I’ll keep you in my prayers. I hope that your anxiety will calm down soon ♥️🙏♥️. I know these days are filled with so many emotions.
