Our poem this week comes from Hortense Roses of Bayside New York.

There is a mysterious aura about this poem and yet it has a natural flow that in our mind's eye, relates to a real or imaginary experience, that we are all familiar with.

Poetry which has no surprise cannot attract our attention and Hortense has found a way to keep us focused with a fairytale theme that carries a lovely sublimal message.

Forces of Poetry

On the rivers of my mind
once upon a time
it was a castle where
a prince wished to
spend Spring.
Love was passing by
And I loved him.
By a mystery of loving
glory, he cared too.
Feelings bloomed to
the ends of time
with intensity to
eternity, and.......
Not even death
Could us apart,
One of the forces
Of poetry!
