Ink droplets
Fall in plain pale paper
Majesty in words abided
By life recreated by spirit
Fallen straight lines
Nonsense at first
But then forming linings
Of ruptured imaginations
Inadaptable, moving,
Unrestricted and concise
But with so much meaning,
With so much life
Finding answers in a deeper trace,
A strand of one’s mind rests to unwind
Blemishes of what was once nothing
Is now something more than anything
Fall in plain pale paper
Majesty in words abided
By life recreated by spirit
Fallen straight lines
Nonsense at first
But then forming linings
Of ruptured imaginations
Inadaptable, moving,
Unrestricted and concise
But with so much meaning,
With so much life
Finding answers in a deeper trace,
A strand of one’s mind rests to unwind
Blemishes of what was once nothing
Is now something more than anything

Brilliant Mind I love the word play
Finding answers in a deeper trace,
A strand of one’s mind rests to unwind
Blemishes of what was once nothing
Is now something more than anything

Very Nice!
I really love rhyme but the flow of poetry that moves from the screen to my mind with ease is intoxicating. And so it is with your poem. My mind absorbed it immediately! I don't like to have to reread a poem to understand it, only to savor it again!
Keep on penning!

Loved this poem! It's been a while since I read a poem about poetry. This really does say what poetry is all about, which is something all of us poets know and understand.
"But with so much meaning
With so much life"

i love this. it does sum up the whole body of poetry. to one person the words of another may hold little to no meaning but to the writer there lies a deep meaning.

i love your choice for words! they were amazing, and maybe confusing, but still really awesome. the imagery was just as amazing too.
Fallen straight lines
Nonsense at first
But then forming linings
Of ruptured imaginations

Blemishes of what was once nothing

it's about how we start to write a poem, where it comes from, how everything will come to be the poem that is writen across pale plain paper (or the poem that's posted here on AP)...
thanks for your comment.

a good piece of poetry, it starts off free then slowly moves into a rhyming poem. good alliteration at the beginning.
