Interesting Les, would love to read the one about your mate's feet lol

I used to have those flashbacks once upon a time, but not any more. Lovely words, Leslie! :-D

Hi Leslie I am a reader on the writer's group and do
enjoy a bit of poetry.
As Rose says do pop into the thread I for one would
be interested.

Emma :-)

How interesting Leslie!

I expect you have seen there is a writers group thread on here? We have lost several of our poets who would have been better placed to comment, I'm not! lol I like reading poetry but couldn't presume to critique it really.

Some very powerful images here though

"Butterflies,,crimson,,yellow,,blue,,
Fluttering by, then hesitate,,
Becoming elephants crushing tigers
Protecting me from viscious claws of death.."

Perhaps you might be willing to post on the writers group thread just a little about how you went about publishing your poems? It would be of interest I know. Well done to you for having done so. :-)

Excellent Leslie congratulations and what do you call the poem has it a name? Hope your not talking from experience lol! :-D

Fireflower I need you.
I must inhale your aroma.
The smoke I blow to all four walls.
Soon I am flying high,,so high..
Fireflower takes age from age,,
Generation from generation,,to blissfulness.
I see beautious fishes in a void sea,,
Butterflies,,crimson,,yellow,,blue,,
Fluttering by, then hesitate,,
Becoming elephants crushing tigers
Protecting me from viscious claws of death..
Snakes swaying to unheard music
Hypnotising me with their dance..
Fireflowers perfume lets me taste paradise..
I am speeding through space
To unknown landscapes beyond,
And I see the forbidden gardens..
I see clearly,but can't understand
As my mind seperates from me,,drifting away
Through these scenes of beautiful illusions
In a never ending experience.....

Any comments welcome...I have had a book of poetry privately printed only 25 copies....This is the first to go on open view.... LES...
