Spectacles Of Love

By Robin Xavier Fontaine

Six idea-poems in all, in free verse; each idea-poem uses a motif familiar to everyone. The poems are: The Vase, The Whirling Wind, The Pyrrhic Victory, The Eccentric, The Television Set, and The End Of Time.

From these motifs I jump off at various tangents to explore the meanings of my latest, greatest love. Do I find themes that are universal? I think the answer to that question is that if my findings are true, then they must apply, at least, to many, many others who have been deeply in love.

Are there any meanings apart from the ones centered on love? I would say so, but I would like to let the reader decide.

At different times erotic, amusing, philanthropic, brave, bohemian and wry, I think it's a slim volume that can captivate and entertain anybody who takes an interest in passionate love.

Adult themes.

Robin Xavier Fontaine

I was born and raised near Montreal, Quebec, midway through the baby-boom, the second of three daughters. (How I got the middle name Xavier is a story in itself.)I started out with a disability, and eventually became a differently-abled person. I have learned in my life that with the three H's, Hope, Humor, and Humility, life offers more than enough rewards.The branches of a tree grow upward and outward, yet in life, our branches can all come back together again in a great knot, and a new tree begins growing upwards - awkward picture, isn't it? Recently I have found tranquility, love, and inspiration, and so it's as though life is beginning all over again. I hope to share my optimistic disposition with my readers; to know your limits, yet hope and strive for your dreams, is what brings out our truest humanity.I now share a Twitter account with my old ex, Robert E Vonne - check out our tweets. @robinrobin55Peace and cheers!
