Today the sun fell pregnant with sorrow,
beyond the horizon its servile bow
regret poignant of a broken vow,
wondering anon of a greater morrow.

I love how perfectly concise this is. Your work has an almost anachronistic feel to it, as if it belongs a hundred or years ago when poetry was more focused on the crafting language and not this free verse stuff.
Thank you Chad, albeit I do turn to writing free verse some times, I guess at the end of the day, its all about the moments caprice.
I don’t mind free verse really, but I guess I’m old fashioned when it comes to poetry and prefer my rhymes and meter. It’s why I really enjoy your poems.
Didn’t mean to come off as negative or like I was brushing aside an entire genre of poetry 😛
(Had to look up caprice. Thank you for teaching me a new word :P)
That’s fine really, you needn’t apologize, I know you meant no harm. I thank you for your continual support and acknowledgement Chad.
…And you’re welcome 😀
Chad, like looking on the day through the eyes of an ancient soul.
Tara
O dear God Tara, you’re too much. 😀
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to sound out there… But I do believe a soul can have many human lives, older with more experiences. Yours seems to be one of them… that’s why I love the way you express through poetry so much, seeing something I have missed or yet to learn.
Have a great day 🙂
Tara
Of course not, and I did not at all intend to put you in a position where you felt prompted to explain yourself. Tara, whether I am the keeper of such a soul or not, the very fact that you see something wonderful in my words is testament that you are. You have nothing further to learn from me my dear. Have a fruitful day. 😀
Regards,
Osama
I agree with Chad. The word choice is immensely concise and profound. The structure is excellent. your continually amaze and inspire me
I am utterly flattered my friend, thank you so much.
Thank you for writing.
This is beautiful. The words seem like visitors from a different era altogether.

Thank you so much Mr….. Mouse :D, it is an honor to be nominated.
Thank you for sharing your poems, I really enjoyed reading them. However, this 4-lined piece of poetry turned out one of my favourites: I love its rhythm and harmony, extraordinary (in a good way!) rhymes and the feeling of depression. Amazing.
You’re welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read my work, I really appreciate it.
Amazing and exquisite!!
Thank you Ms. O.
Reblogged this on thoughts must twinkle and commented:
Those four lines = STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL!
It is my first time here in your blog. I used to read a lot of poems and I was in love with the classics. Being led to your space made me miss my love for words written many decades ago. ^_^
This poem is so beautiful. It made me pause and think about my very own life and how it’s been like “a never ending story”, how things seemed to have been locked in a cycle of sameness. I guess that’s the power of poems and yours are surely very resounding.
I’ll be reading more of your poems (after I hit the button, probably. Hehe!)
By the way, thanks for following my blog. I greatly appreciate it.
🙂
I am glad my words comprehended what you feel and I hope your life is a never ending story of joy and happiness. You are welcome.
