Ode to poetry

Missing image





Stroke, with silken touch

and baited breath,

the quickened senses;

Gasping with surprise

and hidden depths in

the drawing out of beauty...

flowing as a font of eternal

life, springing forth in

abundance... cascading freely

with unfettered abandon;

Tripping as from the tongue

to the page with easy

grace;

Unruffled... pure in text as

in thought

and in being just a thought...

drops easily into the

pool of words,

slowly... forming the

poetry of life.

    let the words drip slowly and clearly from the mind's eye, tears of beauty, of sorrow, of joy, let them all wash poetry's wisdom - a good piece. spill ink and twist me into the crazy shape of love...

    A beautiful expression of the drive to write. The flow of this piece is superb and the structure is lovely.

    springing forth in

    abundance cascading freely

    with unfettered abandon


    A stunning picture this paints in the mind of other poets. Wonderful imagery and description! Very well written!

    Nice work! Now the only question I have is: Is there a word to describe the use of words to describe the beauty of certain arrangements of words?
    *sheesh* I must be more tired than I thought!
    Beautiful, thoughtful, wistful, joyful.
    I give up! I simply can't describe adaquetly(sp?) how this poem makes me feel.

    Write On!
