Legacy of Emily Dickinson  

Lore of legend raise
Gifted poet’s praise
The creative source
For poetry’s course

Solitude inviting
Recluse for writing
Pinning away alone
Set the poet’s tone
Life of isolation
Denied recognition
The myth has last
Recluse of Amherst cast 
Success later came
In posthumous fame
Her poetry is left
To speak for itself
As legends grow old
A story left untold
By the poetry creation
Legacy of Emily Dickinson

ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING

Era of Victorian compliance
Women poets were silenced
Days of the masculine tone
As a poet, she enters alone

The lady poet’s choice
To be the women’s voice
Shades of politics entwine
Hidden within each line

Role of muse came to be
How do I love thee?
Robert Browning discovers
Poet, mate and lover 

Where sonnets so derive
Love prose came alive
As the romance pass
Poems of a new class

A women’s voice lend
To the poet’s legend
Behold poetic crowning
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

EDGAR ALLAN POE

Romantic myth enlist
Of the ruined artist
Archetype of woe
Edgar Allan Poe

Life paradox emboss
By wealth and loss
Gifted he knew fame
And obscurity shame

Creative depths toll
Self-torturing soul
Paranoiac rose
Dark sullen prose

Cunning internal rhythm
On the edge of the sublime
Thus, his legacy bore
Quote Raven’s “Nevermore”

ODE TO WILLIAM FAULKNER
Published Write On

Written words of his mind
Novelist for all mankind
Motion of the novel
Leading us to marvel

 The author narrates
As chapters illustrates
Power of the word
Cuts like a sword

Epic culture vision
Story lines diction
Moving each stage
Turns page to page

Books of his own
Came to be known
Of literary fame
He leaves his name

Never stopped writing
“As I Lay Dying”
An American writer
William Faulkner

RHYME AND REASON
Dear Author Enablers,
I am an aspiring poet with some minor success being published in local magazines and poetry collections. My style is composed in traditional rhythm. I wonder if I am limiting my success by continuing on this same path. However, I am reluctant to abandon my style for the popular prose. Should I stay true to myself or adopt the free style of verse, changing my tune?


Susan Marie Davniero
Lindenhurst, New York





Reply: Our four cents: The wonderful thing about writing is that you can experiment with different approaches, styles and forms without anyone seeing your work until you are ready to show it.
Why not venture outside your comfort zone and see what happens? A mediocre poem is the worst possible outcome (in which case you can hit “delete”), but you might surprise yourself and come up with something spectacular. You’ll never know if you don’t give it a whirl.
St Catherine Labouré
Divine Vision
(of November 27, 1830)

Published Pink Chameleon


On that glorious day, a divine vision



She gazed and listened to her mission




St. Catherine Laboure’ prayed


   To ensure a Miraculous Medal was made


                          Words of Our Lady from above


                                         Blessed Mother’s message of love
                                                       Inspired by a vision of the Blessed Virgin
                               O Mary conceived without sin
           Pray for us, for we
             Have recourse to thee
                                     Keep this medal in devoted behavior
                                And you will receive great favors

STORY OF ANNIE OAKLEY

Annie, get your gun
The legend has begun 
Popularity world wide
Success was on her side
Legendary myths twist
“Little Sure Shot” didn’t miss
Billed as girl next door
Audience crowds applaud
Galloped into the range
Leaving the sport changed 
The legend had its run
Annie, put away your gun

THE SEARCH FOR CLEOPATRA


The search for Cleopatra
Years dancing around her
Myth and legend between
Cleopatra Egyptian Queen
Royal blood lines she own
Thus, to inherit the throne
Ancient parchments told
When the Nile poured gold
Egyptian Queen Goddess
Wiles of the temptress
Seduces Rome by seizure
Of ruler Julius Caesar
By nymph’s spell of beauty
She bewitched Mark Antony
In land of Cleopatra’s reign
Alas Egypt’s decaying stain
Thou once ruled by monarch  
Bids the royalty to apart 
By bite of asp’s poison slay
Silences the Queen’s say
Adieu of Egyptian strife
Cleopatra surrenders her life


Susan Marie Davniero



ALL OF SHAKESPEARE


The renowned literary fame
Renaissance man shall acclaim
English theatre so inspired
Prolific playwright attire

Splendor of passages art
Tenor of a dialogue chart
By each line stroke to be
Wrote fury of his fancy

The medieval period raise
With swells of noted praise
By the staged plays to cause
Gathering theater’s applause

Meaning of his words aim
Thou legendary works came
To be or not to be in part
Of all literary culture’s art

To this day he remains to be
The greatest writer in history
A master of literature
William Shakespeare

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
AN AMERICAN LEGEND


Where the writer’s prose
A literary giant rose
The stories came to say
Of Ernest Hemingway

Stories borrowed from life
Wrapped in common strife
His early call to succeed
Found a welcome read

Talent source surpass
Novelist’s stories amass
Mastery of literature
Writer and adventurer

To spin a nature’s tale
Hidden in sea and sail 
Pulitzer Prize to be
Old Man and The Sea

Alas, inner anguish doomed    
Author’s self-inflicted wound
Here the story will end
For an American legend

Susan Marie Davniero

Novena on of St. Therese

St. Therese’s spiritual life of benediction
Faithful and rooted in her devotion
Bathe by roses perfuming shower
Grace by God, this blessed little flower

On the spiritual path to Carmelite convent
For the novice Sister’s life devotion to repent
Holy sanctuary lodging ascribe to relate
This angelic devout Christian soul met her fate

 Sweet gentle disciple of God’s purity
Abide by a simple life of prayer and charity
Shortly, dark days of illness swept,
Foreboding visionary of Heaven sent

 Fear resolved to be unafraid
For Sister Theresa forever prayed
Sacred intimacy with God so inspired
For Sainthood of St Therese so admired.

Autograph Please, Thank you!

Published Long Story Short

By Susan Marie Davniero
My autograph book turns the pages on each chapter of my life. My collection of autographs grew from childhood Soupy Sales signed postcard to pre-teenage hanging out at Bar Harbor Massapequa Shopping Center asking Nelson “Rocky” Rockefeller for autograph, as he did a radio remote interview on the campaign trails for Vice President.
I dance as a swinging young adult single at the disco meeting teen idol Jay Black backstage asking for autograph after I stole a kiss. I gamble with 21 on vacation at Las Vegas casino taking home Dean Martin's souvenir autograph, after he spoke to me in the audience from the MGM stage.
As a budding feminist I meet Ms. Magazine feminist icon Ms. Gloria Steinem giving autographs after being the key note speaker at Nassau College. I was a sport after marrying Bob, Mets fan, attending baseball game at Shea with him. Bob catches a foul ball and I catch autographs from Mets star players Gary Carter and Darryl Strawberry.
My autograph book is name dropping from Soupy Sales to Rockafellers’ campaign trails, from Jay Black at the disco to Dean Martin at the casino, and Ms. Steinem cause to Carter and the Straw. The Autographs boast of a rooster of celebrity names from “Who’s Who” – to which I say “Autograph, please? Thank you!” and that was all they wrote

The Accidental Poet

The words fall unto a page
Spacing by each stage
Tripping upon a rhythm
Skipping lines in time
Jumping words all around
Thoughts dance in beat
As all the lines complete
Thus, a poem comes of it
The accidental poet

DREAMS OF A HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Dreams of a Mother’s past
A life that did not last
Your death took you away
I had something to say

Revisit another time
When Mother’s love was mine
Only to be found
Homeward bound

Yet in the nights’ air
In my dreams you are there
The love I thought burned
Tonight has returned

Feelings gone from sight
Seen in darkness of the night
A guiding light beams
Mother into my dreams

And I can have my say
To wish you a Happy Mother’s Day!


Susan Marie Davniero
