Certain Seas and Barren Fields

Certain Seas and Barren Fields

A Poem by Elisa
"

A poem about life from the pens of my favorite poets.

"
Time comes in waves here, 
in a kingdom by the sea. 
My heart moves from cold to fire
as if, one by one, the memories you used to harbor
have their exits and their entrances, 
with the certainty of tides. 

Life is a barren field. 
Deep roots are not reached by the frost,
if you can wait and not be tired by waiting. 
Some say the world will end in fire, 
and yet the menace of the years
were toward eternity.

I didn't see the author's note before I read your poem and the greatest compliment I can give is that is is so cleverly woven that it came across as a complete and original work, (though I did recognise the line from 'If,' by Rudyard Kipling.)

Very well done indeed, and the title is inspirational. Beccy

Wow thank you so much Beccy! That really means a lot to me :D
each poem must be written with a knowledge of other poems and poets work,
you have pulled together a wonderful collection of each.

An exceptional collage! It is delightful to see how many lines from different poets we know can be brought together to create another piece of art!

Wow, that's quite creative. Pairing together so many different writers and different styles into a single poem isn't an easy job! But you make it sound so easy with your poem.

Thank you so much :) not gonna lie, it was pretty difficult to do ^.^
My fav. lines:

"Life is a barren field.
Deep roots are not reached by the frost"

What deep words you used here! Yeah, the life's nothing, but a forsaken yield under the field swaying around the hill. The title choice's too very appreciable. Liked it. Enjoyed reading your new-work.
