(MENAFN- Market Press Release) ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by Daniel Senser Another Missed Connection hitting stores everywhere on January 24th, 2020.
The wind blows the cherry blossoms into the river,
where they are carried off by the current downstream -
perfect pink punctuation for the long flowing sentence
that yearns for the certainty of its period, the sea.
I watch the cherry tree shake like a rueful mother
saying goodbye to her beloved children.
She knows their healthy pink glow will not last
without her. She knows that the river carries them
to their graves. And yet, I cannot help but feel thankful
for this wondrous sacrifice, this theft by wind,
this deceitful ushering by river towards death
I can forgive the cruel fate of all things beautiful,
and be thankful for beauty's inevitable return.
Daniel Senser's poetic opus touches on themes of erotic love, fantasy, drunkenness, and madness, among others. His work stands out for its mystical and spiritual elements, as well as its use of rhyme and musical language.
Daniel Senser is originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. He attended the University of Cincinnati where he received a BA in English. He began writing in elementary school but started his career as a poet during his freshman year of college after reading The Iliad.
