POETRY
A verbal rhythmical expression of emotions.
Perfect Clouds
By Elly Potamianos
Whipped cream surged sporadically upon a hue of velvet with a reflecting bright energy peaking, and cascading an amber tint,
Too early to sweat or be blinded, but just right to inhale and rejuvenate,
Entranced by a perfected powder blue and captured for you to view, now and forever this visual thought remains an imprint.
The Pleasant Countenance of the Moon
By Elly Potamianos
Emerged in a glooming twilight with a mitigated glow culminated through the bare branches, whereas ordinarily it would be obstructively concealed,
No ring around such an idle silhouetted profile; no haze to blur the
illuminating source,
Despite the alluring vagueness it’s unusually warm and tranquil, enticing and inviting not to repose, but to mingle and become associatively united.
Reverenced Trees
By Elly Potamianos
When the fire falls and covers a plush green carpet with a burned flutter, the undisguised bare limbs surface to aid the smallest of creatures,
Extensions hover and linger ghoulishly through the impending wind, while the trunk unveils its’ apertures,
Such accommodating centered strength preserves and sustains prosthetic structures, while evasively intrudes and disassembles,
Yet the oxygen has cleared, the fruit, shade, flowers, spores, and cones will return,
An umbrella shade will reconstruct and the tallest earthly growth will continue to provide a stationary foundation that is now inextinguishable.
A Long Time Ago!
By Elly Potamianos
​
Once there was a small peaceful village with a good king, but an aggressive individual could kill, and get away with it,
Once there was the most beautiful prosperous and lustrous green land with an advanced civilization creative, and artistic of great riches that had to be well hidden in cunning secret compartments,
​
Once beauty was a curse for the egotistical, and powerful to amuse them and encourage slavery with it,
Once a stern governmental takeover would directly affect, and harm the citizens without warning, nor protection, and with abrupt unacceptable brutal enforcement,
Once one could not voice their freedom of speech through protest and derive peace with it.
THE MINORITY IS THE PRIORITY
By Elly Potamianos
What is an advanced society with skyscrapers, billionaires, cordless electronics, with poverty-stricken areas of hunger? With values undeniably scrambled that lead to advantages of lust and anger.
Capitalism, Socialism, Culturism, and Communism, can all be balanced naturally with a Democracy supporting individualism.
It is the populated class that leads and will depict the value. Not the minority over the majority, yet it is the minority that holds the value.
