Fever comes
with hot breath on my neck
evasive of time frames
and whatever keeps me.
here comes the pen~
the point shooting
tiny merlot streams
of molten lacquer
braid faces that voice
my thoughts,
a smile takes shape
while tears purge
trumpeting cryptic tales,
those gray reports
of diary meant to be
revealed
their desparate journal
hushed secrets of
a lost scream,
the cologne of memory,
folded in a fist
of firey lines
a worded frenzy-
inside
the poem.

This was a wonderful descriptive piece about poetry. The use of capital for Pen made me feel that it was important. You used alliteration and sibilance in this piece which as poetic devices fitted very well into a piece about the beauty of poetry.
Thanks for your advice
I did a bit of a revision from that

This really is a lovely poem. "braiding faces of voice /from thought," is absolutely wonderful. The word "diary" is exactly how I would describe my own poetry. Refelctions of the self and surroundings are what poetry is. You've said it so well; put into words what every poet experiences.

No need for explainantions for me my friend I saw you writing this poem about a poem from the onset. That muse hovering over your shoulder, nudging you to pick up that pen. Excellent write. the words you chose were exceptional. Very well written indeed. Thanks for sharing.
I have had these migraines for about 30 years, I am now at a point where I am rebuking them in Jesus' name because I can no longer live with them, so I chose to live without them, and I know that God knows. Thank you for your prayers my dear. I do love you and have missed talking to you. The beauty of AP is the simple mention that reconnects wondrous spirits, no matter what.
Much Love,
Renee

I enjoyed this so much, Cookie. I especially liked the phrases that began 'Here comes the pen' and 'braiding faces...' Very creative and poetically written.

Wow... I can't ever seem to write on this topic... every time I try, I never succeed, lol... the poem about the power and inspiration of itself. Now that is some intelligent writing. I'm surprised I haven't come to visit you before, but I don't regret seeing your fantastic work now. This is amazing.
Many blessings,

Maddeningly Good
Very nice write. You have just put a poem into words, a poem about itself. The thought is nearly maddening and I am glad you pulled it off.
