The consciousness of the Poet has expanded itself to such an extent, that he is able to communicate with a leaf. The lovely dialogue between the heart of a Poet and a leaf. Heart Touching. Wonderful.

Rich ideas Poetry Alliance Facebook “Even a little is a lot”
Ahhh so delightful, dainty and delicate as a rose bud in dew. I love personification as everything that exists is alive to me, is spirit; very shamanic and pagan view. You bring this little fractal of the Source completely into being, you even give her a kind of personalty. leaf is most definitely female. Your imagery is quite exquisite and your form works tenderly well.

Nature's beauty combined with man's curiosity has found a wonderful expression from the heart of a great poet.

Joaquín Lourido Google + “Elusive"
You touch the soul so strong that the muse can not resist ... Deep, tender and romantic.

Sandra Zanetti Facebook "Inafferrabile"
Bellissima!... Sai rendere in modo eccellente ogni sensazione e ogni stato d'animo.
Complimenti Gianfranco!

Tokede Opeyemi Facebook "I go beyond"
Beautiful. Endearingly so. The words paint a picture that is lovely and imaginable and worth working towards. Really good keywords mapping out the length and breadth of the beautiful dwelling.

Tokede Opeyemi It is easy to get bored of pieces like this, until one remembers the power of nature's appeal, and how one cannot help but try (at the very least) share this beauty with others. It then creates a new found appreciation, at the very least, a grudging understanding of the word 'Irresistible...'

M Macharia Google + Words on "Only at the end"
My mod choice for the week ending May 19, 2018 is "Only at the end".
Gianfranco Aurilio's skillful use of simile and metaphor is amazing.
If you read it out loud you will pick up on the poem's assonance (sound repetition) which lends this piece the graceful quality of internal music.
Stop by for a visit if you haven't had a chance!

Gnazzo Giuseppina Facebook Raccolta “Delicatamente … dentro di noi”
Il titolo dice già tutto, quel tocco delicato dell'anima dentro di noi in quel turbinio di emozioni che si accavallano, si intrecciano in un'orchestra di suoni, parole ed emozioni sei sempre un grande, grande cantore dell'anima umana , grande conoscitore dei grovigli dell'anima cantati con delicatezza, naturalezza e dolcezza.

So true, my dear friend. Love aches in loneliness when we feel its absence, rises like a tide when fulfilled. Your pen has magic, thank you for writing so elegantly. It is simple but speaks volumes.

Che bellezza in queste parole armoniose e belle....nel labirinto del cuore la ragione si perde ...hai proprio ragione nel cuore non c'è ragione ma amore e l'amore non risponde alle logiche della mente...non riesco a non leggere e come tu possa con grande arte rappresentare in modo dolcissimo i movimenti dell'anima, Nessuno è capace di dare tanta profondità e musicalità alle parole .

Bruce R. Barker Facebook "Mosaic of love" (Italian version)
Brilliant!!
In Ireland, we are, I think absolute masters of sarcastic satire.
This is why we Irish have come up with confounding / confusing ways of expressing our true feelings.
As an example, I will now tell you that your poetry is 'DEADLY!!!'
As an Irishman this is my way of saying your poems are grand, great, fabulous, wonderful..
You get my point.
I truly love reading your poems. I am so pleased that I somehow stumbled upon you and your very talented creativity.
It has been so long since my seminary days / years. But I believe the Italian word I'm looking for is MAGNIFICO!!!

Sandra Zanetti Facebook "Dove sei, primavera?" (versione inglese)
Bella e profonda, come tutte le tue poesie.
È vero: le cose belle sono in primis dentro di noi, nascono dalla nostra serenità. Fuori c'è solo la loro proiezione...
Complimenti Gianfranco per saper rendere sempre così bene le sfaccettature dell'animo umano.

My mod choice for the week ending November 17, 2018 is +Gianfranco Aurilio's "Malice".

"The Tears" by Gianfranco Aurilio is my next choice for the week ending 9 July.

Once again on the confluence of head and heart, this spare and elegant piece clearly depicts the neighboring avenues of expression for those disparate but irrevocably entwined aspects of self.
