Thank you so much! 🌸😀
I dabble in English poetry but I prefer to write in my home langauge. My vocabulary is limited in English and I find it harder to express myself. English is much more "lyrical" hence my choice of an Ode. My home language poetry is vastly different haha.
And isn't the poets those who write about the everyday things for the masses to see in a new light? Or something poetic in that line 🤣
Glad that you picked that up! 😅 I think we agree on these lines? That the poet like the painter paints with words what the masses cannot always see or understand.
These vivid images of yours! Like ripe figs ready for the plucking, ready to burst open in our hands, we just need to slow down and appreciate it for what it is.
Amen, brother (and I love figs ;)
That makes it even "sweeter"! 😁

Your words ring so true. Or, your words are heavy with wisdom. Indeed, we try to slow down our own minds and experience of life. Writing for ourselves but also for others.
