~ Curator ~ Trimeric ~ MP2012

Curator

alone - aloof – from aerie , the curator of beauty, burns

starry-orbs – seeing , seeking, peeking

a voyeur of wonder through keyhole peers

more facets of beauty charm those eyes

starry orbs – seeing, seeking, peeking

impassioned curator of comeliness -

to apprehend what eyes alone cannot

a voyeur of wonder through keyhole peers

beauty - unaware, un-posed, un-primped – yet -alluring

in scent, song, succulence

more facets of beauty charm these eyes

of untold majesty will she her rapture cry

to any and all with savaged soul to hear

Beautiful, passionate. I see that you did not try to use the prompt words.

stephen berwaldt Apr 19, 2012, 12:23am UTC

I get tired of that... Thank you, John...

A beautiful portrait of the luminous beauty that resides in your heart and glows so vividly in the words and images that she inspires. Beautifully done.

Ann will be pleased, as I am, to see that you did as you pleased. And brilliantly done.

stephen berwaldt May 8, 2012, 9:13am UTC

I hope so. She does so much to help promote my work on Twitter. I take her for granted, I fear.

"will she her rapture cry to any and all with savaged soul to hear"...the bard is in the magic zone, sipping his essoteric necture...WTG prof. Stephen

stephen berwaldt May 8, 2012, 9:15am UTC

you make me grin, Richard...I am not professor material at all... but thank you...it is a fine compliment.

Richard Lynn Livesay May 8, 2012, 9:34am UTC

sometimes the artist is even more astute than a prof....to me it's just a word to imply outstanding accomplishment

stephen berwaldt May 8, 2012, 10:10am UTC

Good choice of words then... :)

My favorite line: to apprehend what eyes alone cannot. Well titled, too.

I confess, I wish this were written about me, it's very honoring.

Now appearing next to the other trimerics at Mindful Poetry.

stephen berwaldt May 8, 2012, 9:16am UTC

There might be one for you brewing...would you like that?
Thank you foe your compliments...

Susan Budig - Mindful Poet May 8, 2012, 9:57am UTC

I am not shy when the focus is on others, but when it's on me, I can get flustered. Aren't most people like that?

At any rate, I think this poem absolutely shows off the form in its best light. Whoever created the trimeric, upon reading this poem, Stephen, would exclaim, "Exactly! *that* is what I intended!"

stephen berwaldt May 8, 2012, 10:08am UTC

I'm sure most are that way to one degree or another...
I'm skeptical on whether it's as good as you say, but I'm flattered you think so...
Thank you. Perhaps we'll get you into the spotlight...you do more than your share...you should have your just desserts...

Susan Budig - Mindful Poet May 8, 2012, 10:53am UTC

I understand your skepticism. In fact, I'd have a couple edits on this if it were mine to revise. But the beauty I see here, Stephen, is how it's seamless. The repeating lines segue smoothly so that the reader, when finished, says, "You know, I think some of those lines repeated, but I wasn't even aware of it."

It's only upon reflection and careful study that the form surfaces. Good form needs to be secondary to the beauty of the poetry.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Steve. It's clear that you see parts of me most others don't.
