...And Sven's heart lives on. Unique poem and it would be a tragedy if such a romantic heart died. Keep writing for us  Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

It takes a great poet to write an abstract piece so well. Thank you for sharing it with us! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

and what beautiful music it makes another heartfelt poem, continue the beat. "but for the lovers, their arms Round the griefs of the ages, Who pay no praise or wages Nor heed my craft or art" Dylan Thomas. |

Nice abstract writing here, Sven. You have done well grasshopper!! LOL (knew you'd like that!!) LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

Thanks to all. . . An abstract poem concentrates more on the SOUND of the words then the actual words themselves. The MEANING is secondary. . . it's like "painting with words". Some examples of abstract poems are Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky", and the poems of Dame Edith Sitwell and e e cummings. Thank you again. . . ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
