Orchestrated Beauty

by Erie Reader Guest Author
View ProfileRSS Feed
February 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM

The curves and curls

That have been carefully curated

For the dynamic vessel

Which happens to appear

Before your eyes

Is an exemplification

Of a perfection

That can solely

Come from above

Created to bring

Harmony to the world

And document notes

Projecting a resonance that is

Less familiar than the melody

Allow me to introduce

Myself as QUEEN

Originally Coronated

In the womb of a nurturing spirit

Whom was entrusted

With my presence.

(Inspired by the C.R.O.W.N. Act)

 

Mabeline hosts and promotes a variety of community building programs that focus on the Art of Healing through poetry and writing, including Live Poetry at Cafe 7-10 and The Poetry X-Change at Werner Books and Coffee. She can be reached at gamewithmabel@gmail.com
