To meet my words

by Jem Croucher
In the quiet still of these crystal moments
when the morning whispers at sun's first call
and slumber echoes on the dove-cote doors of sleep
a world lies waiting for the day
and there you will find me, pen in hand
poised for the never failing still voice of inspiration
and when it comes, as it always will
these virgin sheets meet my words

The Most Magical

by Jem Croucher
I am the first thought
flowing to paper as the
poet sees the yellow

I am the first breath
as a night of slumber ends
and rejuvenation leaps
to inspiration for the new

Of mornings and writers revisited

by Jem Croucher

1 of 12 in ‘The of…’ series from Jemverse 2022

It's a time when the writer
finds words which just flow
when inspiration has tangible
substance you know
and the lines just appear
with the syntax to flow
to craft into stories
for poets to show
So one day you should visit
at daylight's first glow
as in your heart I am sure
you know it's where to go

Bond of words (reprise)

by Jem Croucher

8 of 12 in ‘The Word II’ series from Jemverse

Though similar paths each day I tread
there is always inspiration
in the things I see around me
to encourage recitation

But in case of memory lapses
my little notebook always carried
allows me to capture what I see
so that sights to words are married

My best words (reprise)

by Jem Croucher

7 of 10 in ‘The Word II’ series from Jemverse

There’s a place close by where my best words are found
Sometimes it is close to the sea
But at others it is up on the hills where I walk
And most times where I happen to be
It’s a place of deep soul and of feelings and thought
and emotion wrapped up into one
For me it’s the exuberant quality of life
Born from a love of the sun

Moments of pensive

by Jem Croucher
A moment of pensive when passing in time
for reflection and insight that is wholly mine
is something I treasure as provision it brings
inspiration for writing and other such things
so oft will I pause for a moment or two
raison d'être to share with a select few

Hazel Heart

by Venkat

Dedicated to angelic Mae Riley

Photo Copyright: Mae Riley


in the hollows of time
drip memories, icy bold
stories in silver faith
stories in molten sand

where owls hold vigil
angel of love’s feather
a light, only moons know
of this hazel heart’s brow
