A Verse for Poetry

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

    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"

    Are my favorite lines. Good write.

    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

    this was my favorite stanza... i think the most imagery was shown here.

    Blemishes of what was once nothing
    Is now something more than anything

    this line is what really caught my eye in this poem as well... its really good. good job!

      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.

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