Septolet
The Septolet consists of seven lines containing fourteen words written in two parts with a break in between them, each part dealing with the same thought… to create one picture (to a degree, somewhat like the concept of haiku/senryu — which contain two snapshots of aspects of the same reality). I stop I stop my ears to hear your fingers singing fragrant pictures, seeing transparent love © Daniel J Ricketts 30 Nov 2004 just duet tenor gives orchestra human voice baritone's antiphon echoes appreciation for soloist… now in harmony © Daniel J Ricketts 24 Nov 2004 Thank God thanks-giving for Blockbusters, football, turkeys, tryptophan… or gratitude for life, shelter, food, safe family? © Daniel J Ricketts 24 Nov 2004 ·······  ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

pointless love
mating porcupines must be careful, females can be convinced or males get the point ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers. Larry D. Jennings MM Award Winner     |
