Blue Moon
This isn't a poem, but I just wanted to share my experience with you, as it was so special. (I had wondered if the lights that I had seen being launched off the distant hills were perhaps people in hang gliders, but a friend suggested that they could have been Chinese lanterns being launched to celebrate the new year- I guess I will never know, and I kind of like it that way).

Lightning flashed in the sky Causing her to utter a frightened cry Thunder followed with a roar As the waves crashed upon the shore It was night and very dark She shook and her heart was beating hard Feeling like a small child again She coul

TOWARDS YOURSELF
That is a poem of a great Bulgarian romantic , who has passed away 15 years ago. I have translated it for my friends all over the world. All my life it has given me strength, will and optimism to keep on! I would like to add: Yes, we are strong and can overcome every circumstance in life with self-esteem and changing our attitudes. Faith ,Trust and strong Will!
POETRY AND PROSE
As a child, growing up, most of the poems I learned at school were of the traditional type. Memorizing and reciting them, which I enjoyed, were part of the learning exercise. Free verse, a modern form of poetry, was a new experience for me. Over the years, I jotted down some of my thoughts on things, especially, on Nature topics. I always considered such writings to be prose. It was only after I learned of free verse, that I saw that they could also be viewed as poetry with a slight variation in the line layout to create a sense of metre. I referred to such writing as poetic prose and labelled some of my earlier poems as such.
Happy New Year!
I wrote and posted this poem last year, and couldn't think about anything better, so don't bear me grudge if I post it again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, fellow poets!
THE DRAGONFLY
Off take of the legend of the Dragonfly. Transformation of a larvae that starts out in the water and then changes into a Dragonfly.
Did You Know?
When I was confused and lost in my soul.. You found me.. I was not searching for you.. yet You sought me out.. I was like a lost child in the wilderness of life.. You saw my love and my hatred, but you were greater that my heart

There are no challenges Where I reside For deserted by myself Then this island Is home It is where I scream It is a choice Of finding myself It holds no terrors Or deems to me That this is fate And where I belong I took that choice For

*** You walk with a childish grin – mere girl, And wherever you go you pose proudly and stalk, And the apple - the one in right hand that you hold - It becomes you as flower that’s stuck in your locks. You stop all of sudden, you're pale, eyes

thank you friends and CS
I just read about the poem of our dear friend Paloma who had provided me with enormous amount of inspiration on the days when I was so low and down. I am better now and I hope we can, also share her fears and frustrations because this is what I love most of this place. Our ability to share our pains, sorrows and love give us strength when we need it. That is all.

~I'm a quiet man~
What say you to this!I believe most people will shy away from a reply here, because of being afraid to speak out against what's in front of them. So it go'es to show that fear tactics work. I believe I'm here for a reason, not too sure what that reason is, but I'll not let fear interupt what I feel needs to be said.

MILKY WAY
“The Milky Way is a hazy band of light that can be seen encircling the night sky. This light comes from the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy, the galaxy to which the sun and the Earth belong. Galaxies are huge systems of stars separated from one another by largely empty space. Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way galaxy contains at least 100 billion stars and is about 100,000 light years in diameter. The galaxy is shaped like a compact disk with a central bulge, or nucleus, and spiral arms curving out from the center.” Thought you would like to travel in space! The view is majestic!
