Whispers of The Brooks
written by: Maria Evelyn Quilla Soleta
I pass by nooks and many seasons
Against moss and endless miles
I jingle with pebbles and stones
Then run with the currents wild.
I roar at the deepening forests
I glance at a town nearby
I see folks, and they see me
I glisten against the blue, blue sky.
O, how in summer I laugh in glee
With the children’s frolic and fun
By night, moonlight caresses me
By day, I beam at the old, bright sun.
I wish to sing these songs to you
Melodious with the travels I take
The notes remain, but I must go
Where the vast blue ocean waits!
MARIA EVELYN QUILLA SOLETA gives thanks to prose and poetry! Motherhood is a calling and subject so close to her heart. She lives in Cavite, Philippines. Her poems are unadorned yet truthful, purposely warm, and witty. People, places, things, (living and non-living), and even circumstances give colors to her rhythm and rhymes, stanzas, and lines. She began to write poems when she was six and has published two books on poetry, 'My Twenty Poems' and 'Finding My Heart', (an Amazon bestseller in five categories a few hours after its launch in January 2021). Her works can be found in many anthology books and journals. Evelyn has also won local and international awards. Her poems resemble the works of a woman poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Evelyn's husband Danny, and their four girls Andrea, Guia, Daniella, and Laura, and two granddaughters Tala and Mayla, keep her inspired to continue this passion of hers-- Writing!
