Summertime Calliope an Love Poems Rachelle Gothe

Summertime; Calliopean Love Poems is one of many collections of Rachelle Gothe's most earliest forms of natural poetry, short stories, and sonnets. Summer, was inspired by her love for seasonal change in New York City where she grew up and spent most of her childhood. Most of her poetry which is inspired by nature and what she calls natural feelings or natures feelings touches up on topics of love, loss, romance, profound love affairs and love to the point of obsession. She uses various emotional tones to create a palette of words, and thoughts, sounds, themes and topics to write and ponder about. Her work can be considered in it's purest form romantic, tragic and lonely as well as mysterious and compulsive, one thing she definitely doesn't lack is a heavy emotional influence in her poetry. The term Calliopean derives from Calliope from Greek Mythology, a muse said to inspire eloquence or epic ecstatic harmonious poetry. Her poem "The Day that the Water Burned;" talks about a man that a woman' is in love with she refers to him as someone that could either be an angel who is meant for her or the devil who comes to bury her; the poem is filled with heavy emotion and makes references to curry indicating a possible Caribbean influence. "A Tapestry of Broken Promises;" is also a short poem about a woman whose heart is broken and who later spends her time weaving a tapestry of lies and blasphemies, the poem itself indicates a reference to God and how God feels while he's watching down over her, the woman while there in her own suffering. Rachelle's poems reflect tragedy and pain with a strong reference to a heavenly witness; her short stories, however, are filled with pleasant and pious joy reflecting her softer side. "Summer" is dedicated to the season of summertime, as Rachelle depicts her busy readers in between lunch breaks having only a few minutes to enjoy a poem or two with a tea and lunch.
