"The Heart is not earthbound"
A broem in 6 cinquain-chapters, inspired by the Masterpiece, Emily Brontë, and her masterpiece, Wuthering Heights.
1/ (Brontë on the rocks)
Strong will
winds rains moors crags --
definitive high rock
opera before the art went
hi-tech.
2/ (king of pain)
Heathcliff:
Novel study
on the keen scent of male
grief - the wuthering howls - reign of
mad dog
3/ (kindred Spirits make guest appearances)
Stoker's
Count Dracula
inspired after Brontë's
Heathcliff. Real super naturals
don't die.
4/ (the soul mates never out of print)
Brontë -
beyond bound books:
In creating Heathcliff
Emily's reincarnated
her self
5/ (Art imitating everlasting Life)
Heathcliff:
"Would you like to
step out into the air?"
Cathy: "Always." Promises are
"Aways."
6/ (The Heights beyond the wuthering)
He wails:
"Cathy, My Love,
come back!" Instead their Heart
forwards the 2 out of the house
for Home

Re: "The Heart is not earthbound"
Michael, you have often reference or written about Wuthering Heights. I think this is your best, at least as I remember the others. I nominate it.
Re: "The Heart is not earthbound"
Your poems are different.
This one is very good as Billy says.
I second his nom.

I've never seen the term broem. I am not capable of appreciation due to my ignorance of the form

Re: "The Heart is not earthbound"
Hi Ken (et al),
brother + poetry spells broetry. Like there's chick lit, there's broetry -
A broem is a neology of brother & poem, and describes s subgenre of poetry from a male perspective. Like there's the feminist poem, there's the broem.
Without the lit written by sister Emily, there would not be this broem. Furthermore, because this is a creation prompted by another, there exists sn ekphrastic relationship beyond the bind of book.
There would not be the broem if not for the poet-novelist, Emily Brontë. Estrogen giving rise to testosterone.
All that said, the background info & formal blueprint isn"t an absolute prerequisite for entrance into & engagement with the poem.
I prefix 1/ for the enrichment - and Ken, I hope that is what it is for you now that I have explained - and 2/ because Valentine's puts me in a literary passion
I hope the prefix info isn't pretentious and off-putting;
but instead, a behind-the-scene enrichment.
I know that I like to feed off literary supplements, often referred to as a poet's or author's note, or an artist's statement.
A conversation about the creative process, especially about a work I relate to, is nourishing to my aesthetic sensibilities.
in the spirit of clarification & creativity

Re: "The Heart is not earthbound"
Thanks, Billy,
Yes, I keep returning - like when you let someone go, and that person returns, it's Love.
And then ultimately, there is no need for more return, for there is Absolute Eternal UniSon.
I find it reinvigorating to reincarnated & reanimate the paracosm envisioned by my kinship-in-creativity, Emily Brontë, when the spirit moves me.
Thanks, Billy, for your read, comment,
and the nomination.
By the way, if it goes forward to the finals, I most likely won't include the prefix.

Re: "The Heart is not earthbound"
Thanks, meenas, for reading & enjoying.
I especially Thank You for sharing your observation:
"Your poems are different."
^^ and that's became I interpret that to say:
my poems are poems that only my voice could write - that's what I live for - that's why I am born & alive forever
and Thanks, meenas, too, for 2nding the nom.
Wonderful - 2 noms & the thread is not even up yet
