Four Poems by Robert Andresakis Color of Life Life Green with experience
bares The red
guilt stain. Burdened with wet knowledge
tears Running
like rain. Innocence does not know
hurting- Green with
new life. Purple from screaming and
blurting Loud cries
of strife. Hold the black burden of cold
doubt Inside the
mind. Inky darkness charges to route And
choke life blind! We hold the guilt of innocence Eternally
ever. The black doubt forming a
tempest- Until severed. Severed free from doubting
turmoil- White clouds aloft. Pillows of gold lined clouds
coil Carelessly
soft. Release the black doubt and red
guilt- Release your heart. Flit and fly in the blue silk Of cotton
art. And
forgive the lines of the Past- Remember flight. Be free- a white life that will
last- Open once lost sight!
Pantoum Anapest Pentameter “Effervescent Life” Life, I hold on to so serenely tight Eternalizing effervescent pain. Need drives the chariot with golden sight; Breathing beautiful bountiful refrain. Eternalizing Effervescent Pain Grants some creative credence in writing. Breathing beautiful bountiful refrain, I put pain to fallen life- Creating. Eternalizing effervescent pain Breathing beautiful bountiful refrain. Robert S. Andresakis Rhyme Royal “Irony of Prose” Refrain from passion- protect structural through- And bring together a writing cosmos. Villanelle, pantoum, and sonnet lost To the fiction of free verse- I appose The rolling rhythm of the ramped prose. Feverishly favor structured work; Rally reality lost in prose murk. Robert S. Andresakis Free Verse “Falling Resistance” Bombs break the Will Exploding resistant fortitude. Death Finds Peace In Violence. Resistance is running to God. Bombs Break the Will. Drop Enough Bombs and You will Win ! Savor running to god? Robert S. Andresakis |
