I like your poem...Excellent presentation! Tells an interesting story -going on ride in an out of focus with fonts as thoughts ride and glide on the north wind of the mind - repressing - while praying for results -( without action ) - hoping that the heart will mend - I do this all the time...works for me. Good Job. hug

Gypsy Blue,
Your free verse along with he girl picking the flowers. I found how clever you are to alternate your font and having you last line fade away

Definitely an interesting picture by Waterhouse, Gypsy. I really loved your words of the free verse because they did capture the tears that befall us when a heart is broken. Very well done and sadly enjoyed. Blessed be n hugs!

Comment from karenina
Genius. The freest verse of all! Brilliant use of waxing and waning font size... Truly artistic! The angst screams off the page...
Dies to a forlorn whisper...a mote of hope...
Wow!

So well deserved! Wish I had more sixes to award!

Love your free verse! There's a deep message here about how the past's grief can "seed rain over arid land." Sometimes after healing from a hard time in life, we can harvest wisdom and peace in our "mended hearts."

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine poem, Gypsy----I drank when I was down, but we all handle it in our own way. Picking flowers I have to admit never crossed my mind, but if nothing else its a lot cheaper!

Comment from Jumbo J
Hi Gypsy,
you have a real talent for the way you format and present your work that always makes for a more impactful entry into your words.
I loved the wave effect in the font that tied in so nicely with the emotion of the subject matter.
I read and re-read this beautiful free verse and rode every wave of emotion laid bare.
My only stumble was the 'Guts' reference, as my mind wanted to say 'gusts' that followed on from the 'northern wind reference in the previous line... but of course, that is just me and my mind.
No matter, as I said I loved the read, the always beautiful presentation and imagery... you are a real talent.
With our thoughts we create...
the tides of change.
Kind regards,
James.

Thank you very much for your kind review and helpfull feedback, I changed gut to gust and it does sound better. I also changed mend to mending, since it's a work in process. :)

Comment from Fleedleflump
'Free verse' always feels to me a little like making a category called 'uncategorised'. That's not a criticism. What free verse does best is control pace - it let's you put in pauses and pulses that meter and rhyme tend to eliminate.
Here, of course, you've enhanced that further with your clever use of font sizes to represent waning and expanding tidal sensations (although it initially put me in mind of a ransom note :-)).
I thought this was fantastic - a beautiful read.

A beautifully written a sweetly and presented poem, with that touch of pathos that comes with broken hearted, I think most of have had to deal with a broken spirit at some time or other, well done Gypsy. Blessings Roy

Comment from T B Botts
Hello Gypsy,
I loved the poem and the way you made the words undulate on the page. On the one hand I felt like I was out on the ocean, which fit nicely with the aquamarine waves and the northern wind. You always write such interesting poems, truly a delight to read. Well done gal.
Have a blessed day.
