Tones

Of Inflective Deflective Reflective Retroreflective Poetry

Tones

Morning songbird pitched tones ‘n vibrating leaves
Warbler ring echoes painted tones in highlighted hues
Human flesh elasticity, tones radiating musical blues
Warmth walking nature’s resilient recitative muse.

Inflective

Line of time traversing inflective roads winding heights
Soaring mind spreading wings gravitating inflective sight
Current flowing brainwave inflections shouting voice’s bite
Babe of a inflective soul, minor turned adult changed light-year.

Deflective

Silken sheen of mirrored reflections of a deflective stone
Rippling deflective rings spheres in greater meditative tones
Wind chimed breezes channeling deflective breezeways alone
Spirit gravitating deflective memories, sigh sharpened hone.

Reflective

Images reflective light dancing shadows dark silhouettes
Musical mood paths ‘n tragedy trails in reflective stage duets
Word play among reflective imagery moving featurette
Characters between white ‘n black spectrum - Romeo ‘n Juliet.

Retroflective

Looking glass - not of searing futures - but retroflective pasts
Wrinkled age weathering retroflective storm aftermath blasts
What if, should not have sorrow retroflectives in sad contrasts
Like a Katrina tear haunting retroflective graves - half masted.

Poetry

The HeArt of living HeArtBeats dancing Poetry’s rhythm
Blues mixing jazz adding rap’s deep down feel Poetry rhyme
Gospel verse to God Bless America, Poetry’s Artmosphere hymn
Harmony ‘n melody of tones of inflective - deflective –
Reflective - retroreflective - Poetry never terminated in time.

Where Poetry is banned ‘n censored backwards into silent films
Home Sweet Home of Grimm’s reaper writing amputated limbs.)
