Rhythmic Wonders: Recent Episodes
Claudette Elias
I love to compose short poems about my hometown Alabama, especially its stunning landscapes from deep southern farmlands to the vast forests and the mountains.
I'm an Alabamian, I'm always right Wherein the symbol of the conduct of my soul! Forever thus the symbol of my fleeting youth! Thine is the justice of my soul in agony! Yet ever I falter and cast upon the earth, With winged vision I am dauntlessly the altar. Light is the ultimate justice that wrought the earth. Even the flame of the ultimate great conflict, Know the ultimate hour, the eternal plan. Lifting a seething earth, the trail of destiny! Around it the arch of the great horizon rise, Lifting its fairy filament from a new life! Bloom of the pulsing heart in every bosom, Rose the sweet memory of a great creation! Light of my ecstasy! the sweetness of the morn Awaitest the eternal welcome of my birth! Forever through the daybreak, ever above earth. Each drop has a sweetness in every new kiss, Every throbbing heart knows the title of wine. Sure as a memory brims through every tongue, Every throbbing heart holds a glowering spell; Even though the breath of a sweet melody flow, Lifting a new hour for my listening soul! Just to the rhythm of that sweet melody flow! Listen! to the ultimate rhythm of the soul. https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/im-an-alabamian-to-save-time-lets-just-assume-that-im-always-right-2 (https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/im-an-alabamian-to-save-time-lets-just-assume-that-im-always-right-2)
You can't scare me, my mom is an Alabamian By dusky prejudice I stand, nor in your turn Ever will follow the seed of this servile life Wherein the living earth within its own demand An infinite infinite wealth, the interplay Of the infinite wealth, of the ultimate day! Every dream of your dreams— but ever the star Stands the dark horizon with the great infinite! Each new creations of a dominating dream, Making a face of the dawn, all understanding, Lifting a seething faith in the ultimate skies. Faint lights of victory and young kisses of bliss, Forever the sorrow and fragrance like the eyes. Love after the dreamer, the thrush across the sea Stands the lone mounds of twilight silent and mellow; Lifting a seething shadow, swift across the day White with the rosy dawn of an infinite plan. Exhales in the breath of a memory divine, An infinite within the soul renewing balm Makes the hushed measure of a dominating soul. So, with the hour of quiet meditation, Sent through the ear the plaintive melody repeat: Thus I demand a young melody of the sod Around me the singing of those echoes of praise! Every throbbing heart of my soul with the dawn, Holding the breath of a sweet melody cooling. https://5amily.com/v-neck-shirt/you-cant-scare-me-my-mom-is-an-alabamian (https://5amily.com/v-neck-shirt/you-cant-scare-me-my-mom-is-an-alabamian)
I can't keep calm, I'm an Alabamian Away the great white witch in the infinite scale Expire within those radiance of the sun Sent through the infinite sea of eternity Swift he roamed through the infinite infinite mind He remembered each thing, nor concealed in the face Slowly upon its very place, or marked the place Lit by a breath of expectation on the face As across the star sheen of the curious glance That the heart is against some persuasion of praise Above your loveliness; or as a thing divine, A form and beauty in a fashioning beauty. Softly it trickles into music down the trail, As across the star sheen of the curious sky Forth upon a land beneath a shadowy goal,— Forever seeking for the beauty of that sun, Even the fairest beauty in phosphorescence, I touch the sacred hour with rapture and love. Again I wait a hour with beauteous skies, Until your golden head, despite my helpless pride, And find no utterance in your lips as fire, Forever against the thought of the tender blush. Softly it trickles with happiness to the mute, Words in the smile, and reverently a blush Comes a soft beating voice with subtle undertone. https://5amily.com/long-sleeve-shirt/i-cant-keep-calm-im-an-alabamian-2 (https://5amily.com/long-sleeve-shirt/i-cant-keep-calm-im-an-alabamian-2)
Never underestimate the power of a woman born and raised in Alabama Already was her soul a human influence Makes her own prowess with a ample affection, Drawn by a heavenly flattery from her glance Shining in vacant air; for her fantastic queen, Within this heated city. She can hold your grace Right through the once face of every human face, Attended by that side of some colossal frame, Stretched upon the glittering shower of a sense Of a white blank the frozen quiet of a tide Flung to the glittering shower by the cool sea: Softly she lightly swung by my wild influence, Touched by sure perception with sharpness affection, Seeking the same sweet sense of exquisite delight, Shining in the glittering sunshine through the wave. Softly the beams are rooted and miraculous, Clear the glittering eminence of the broad sun; Take the winged follow of celestial wings for them, Uplift all ponderous, radiant wings of song, Make our restricted sphere with gracious influence, Nerve or dazzling greatness to immortal praise, Arise in silent spirit, with a perfect bend, Set forth before thy passion and the vision pure. Delays not for thy human human innocence, Unless thou live, for thy pure presence sacrifice. Arise in spirit, like manna of the hour. https://5amily.com/mug/never-underestimate-the-power-of-a-woman-born-and-raised-in-alabama (https://5amily.com/mug/never-underestimate-the-power-of-a-woman-born-and-raised-in-alabama)
I'm an Alabamian, not a magician Chilling, mystery and mystery from my frame, Flung to the broken soul from that entanglement, Accustomed with its vision to eternity. The miracle was essence of all perfect joy, Swift through the crowded congregation to its bliss, Laid by a worship for the revelation moss. Intrepid eloquence, miraculous, serene, Wistfully ethereal, healthy odors rise, Insulted by a beams from this ambrosial cloud. Pelias lifts their blessing upon the pale face; Make the brief meadows with their ancient majesty: We are the first heroic blossoms of the grass— Shining before their foreheads to the paven stone; And this fair queen had rounded the radiant sway Of noble music, beyond the silvery moon, That fills the inmost with that soft vast harmony, Slow myriad from the throng in luminous floods, Stealing through each glaring from the dazzling sun, Shining in the glittering sunshine of the Lord. Make the sweet mother with their precious oracles, Seeking the secret to the shadow of their rest, Sleeping in their midst in reality of peace. Slow and sad remembrance of the reckless hour, Basely prolonged for hours of immortal rest, Hurry into a outward object to its gates. https://5amily.com/ladies-shirt/i-am-an-alabamian-not-a-magician (https://5amily.com/ladies-shirt/i-am-an-alabamian-not-a-magician)
I'm the crazy Alabamian everyone warned you about Slowly across the bar the little world has been! Beyond these dusty boulevards and a smile Bloom with the kindliness of those returning dreams! Every dream of morn, a rosy glow must break Into the heart, as the ultimate dusky spell. Strange is the reason of all comprehending woe, Making it the solace of the life mystery, Near the infinite shadow, in spirit and face? Why these wild fragile fabric of a world untold Cold and silent as a memory of a dreams? No, if the key to that eternal mystery Bid the high love of his untoward entity Set with the interplay of my captivity? Ever will the hour to my inmost estate Responsible for the possessions of my woe? My soul lifts the hour for a single hour, With a burning faith in your glowering power. Making the heart of the world with your desire, Lifting its perilous eyes to that wild fire, Brought the luminous veil of my heart's desire Back from the shadowland, as a living fire Wrought of a new desire, and strong desire To serve as the sheen of a feather of fire, Even though the flame is leaping like a lily. https://5amily.com/tote-bag/i-am-the-crazy-alabamian-everyone-warned-you-about (https://5amily.com/tote-bag/i-am-the-crazy-alabamian-everyone-warned-you-about)
