In a Spring Garden

~ thereluctantpoet

Charmed Chaos

Gentle breeze and sweet sunshine in a spring garden

where vivid green tendrils vine and climb

murmuring to wild roses blossoming spirits

Come, feel the quiet solitude of verdant trees

for harmony is here in ancient forest boughs

while wandering the yielding mossy path beneath

and listening to the poetry of bird song above

wrapped in the silence of nature’s peace

And They Met

~ thereluctantpoet

Confab With Me

They have never met in person. He writes poetry, and she weaves short tales. Their verses reached each other through the internet. His profile was visible to the world, and hers hid behind the long curly winding magical tresses, which with a hint of annoyance covered her countenance.

In the beginning, his poetry had a tinge of gloominess and her stories had heart-wrenching ends. And soon his poetry had shades of her deviant looks and hers transformed to some fairy tales. They didn’t show, nor they did convey, but they were in love
