Hi bloggers,
This is posted for O.S.I. The theme for this week is connoisseur.
He is humorous and sublime
High off air and life
Tasted the rain of the Everglades
And licked his sweat in South America
Made love to sunset’s stunning face
Drunk off rivers of the sea
He napped in blue sky canopies
Heart wide as the African sun
Darkens with the universe above
Beguiled by Alps and snow queens
Imprisoned by mountains and sea beasts
He returns with his poor, sweet face
The children happily embrace
Our connoisseur of the world

a connoisseur of the beauty of this world...:)
i happen to start loving photography and was thinking i will make it a point to use my own photos for my blogs...:)
beautiful words Write Girl...i could relate to it in some simple ways though i've not been to those places to take a pic of the beautiful, the unique, the mesmerizing views, and what not!
thanks for sharing this awesome poem and for taking part in my prompt this week...:)
This is a nice poem, W.G. Your connoisseur has been high and lofty around the world. Then he met his match, first in the African sun and later in the Swiss Alps. He came home to be one of the hood.
I like your form in this, the slant rhyme, and especially the shift you used to accomplish his change of attitude.

He returns with his poor, sweet face... your poems make me feel young and excited about life again. My imagination sores with your thoughts. lovu:}
Nice characterization here!
Very vivid here :)
Oh, this is a very beautiful and mystical poem. I see him roaming this world seeing only the light and never the darkness. Excellent work.
