lovely
see now you can't tell me thats not a work of art...ha ha, lovely and you did a great job here, though this piece can be used for spiritual movement, or a positive gain in such, I just simply believe this piece is a lovely work of art, and simply beautiful, you did a great job here, it was lovely -
my teacher did tell me
to sit rather still
she wanted my heart be calmed by her will
I tried to then to follow
her words like a boy
but lost what I needed
and wept to her joy -
Thank you, sweety!
Glad you enoyed it 
-

good job
Very nice. I'm too tired to go into ecstasies right now, but it's very good. I am not all that fond of that kind of form poem, but this one is an exception.

This is very powerful in few words. Be as God. Can't get any simpler than that. I think these are words we should all live by. This is a great poem I can tell just by reading this one piece of writing that you are very spiritual. Be Well and Be Blessed.

Rivals again? Okay, you win. I know that already
-
You are such a cheeky bugger, you South African you!

Eloquent simplicity, very Gennelle-like in presentation. If it wasn't for all the spelling mistakes and gramatical errors ( I will be sending the corrections to you shortly) - of course you will not be penalised for these, seeing that you are Australian and all... Lovely.
-
Good write!
I love the presentation. Nice flow and a beautiful message. Almost prayer like or mantra like. I like the lines" A roaring spring of love" How eloquantly stated. Love is the highest truth! Good luck with the contest! Good write! -
beautiful!

Thank you for your kind comment, M C!

Inspiring
This is brief, beautiful, deep, practical message for all. I chanced upon it while viewing your list of writings, which is truly impressive and to which I must return.
M C Gupta -
In your eyes I see the light
In your eyes I see the roads to paradise in flight
I know why I can look through your eyes
I see so much love deep inside
In blazing fires within your eyes
And within the lion and the lamb
I tenderly hold your heart within my hand
In the early morning rain we all seek the same flame
To be one within the power of the sun
Only after a lifetime of searching within the lords grace
I’ve now touched the divine within a faceless face
For when you love upon the shores of the divine
We all dance in tune as one mind
Within the sun that shines from up above
As you wrap all of us in your miracle gloves of love

Exactly, melphleg! They are indeed archetypal and Biblical symbols of the Christ; also of the Gospels (e.g. Angel: Matthew, Lion: Mark, Eagle: John.)
John 4:14
~ Gennelle
-
Nice Biblical references. It short be like Christ. At least that's how I see it since most of those metaphors refer to him.
-
great
this is a great contest poem after poem i realize that i'm a debutant in the art of poetry
great poem -
Maatkara this is wonderful, you have an unique way of writing your poems, a lot of wisdom you have written in this poem~love~Joan
-
This is so simple yet very powerful, the meaning of this filters through, if no one gets it the first time, read it again, not just as apoem, but line by l;ine, savour each line and listen to what it says. That is how this should be read. Thanks for sharing
take care

FRESH & BRIGHT
smiles .
says alot to all! i think
i have used nearly all your words here . . lol. . except 'speak like an angel'
. . chukles
roaring much more fun . . meow !!!!
mike any ways thats what this leo thinks . .

Thank you. Those who understand the essence of truth needs no embellishment have no problem with it. Also, anyone familiar with symbolism as a catalyst for contemplation can appreciate the point and presentation quite well.
I guess haiku would not appeal to you then.

Your experiential form is interesting. But do you feel that the spareness is adequate. You truncate many wonderful things. Sometimes the lines are predictable but are also moving.
You pack them into merest line. Very conceptual but does it touch wisdom ? I would say that it does but-- you need more lines. Just an observation please take it in kindness, the poem is allright. -
This reminds me of "speak softly but carry a big stick" of righteousness. Again, you have covered a wealth of wisdom yet in so few powerful words. May the world see and listen, then feel and act upon them.
Good luck in the contest! Love and hugs, BonnieQ
-
Love the way you have presented this one. Also aloving message you are sharing.
Hugs BonBon -

-
Truly insirational, loved it.
-
Your page and poems are up I tried to set this one as it is hope it looks ok to you
-
Just came back for a second reading. gets more powerful everytime. This is one to memorize i think.
-
Gotta start 'walkin' like a Lion', lady!
-
It is too intimidating to be inspirational to a newbie like me. But wow, you have taken me to new heights of poetry I didn't even know existed in the imagination. Just looking at this alone stretches out the mind. So it is inspirational after all. But woh! Talk about creativity that knows no bounds.

So Natural full of Wonderment

Tahuti ~ If you had said what you thought of my poem first...I might have told you
~ Ma'at

Lovely
Silly me, when I saw the title, I wondered, "Who's BE?"
Seeing the poem, overall I am struck by the capitalised words BE LOVE. This is a tremendous message in itself. The exhortations in between call for a life of confidence, gentleness, and truth. The message again, and what a lovely presentation.
-
LOOOOVE that picture! where did you find it?
-
Nice, I liked all the similes. creative luvz
inspireme -
Excellent
Hi Ma'at-ka-ra:
Oh to be like that would be perfection. I would fail miserably in trying to meet those lofty goals. Most of the time, I would probably get them reversed to one degree or another. A very spiritual write with beautiful ideals. Thanks for sharing this piece. Bill -
This is good. So much said with so few words and the form is great. I am playing with form, this site has made me really explore and reach. Seeing pieces like this makes me want to try new things. Thanks for sharing.
Edited on Jan 02, 11:00 p.m. because 'Spell check for comments???'. -
Gee, thanks 'professor'! Do I go to the head of the class too, do I, huh?
Actually, I can't really present it the way it should look with the limitations of this typesetting etc. - so that's just a compromise.
~ Maatkara
-
A creative mind and pen. And "artsy too!" Good message and you get an A+ for 'presentation.'
-
heheee I like very much~hugs~ great choice
-
A good choice of background. Of course, i can't remember what it looked like without it, but i'll assume there is improvement. Or at least no loss. WHich is the same, right?
-
Hi Mightydreamer ~ Thank you! You saw it before I'd even put the background in or finished editting...you'll have to tell me if it looks better now..
~ Maatkara -
Yep. yep yep. that be good. Plain and simple good. Very impressive.
-
wonderful, very creative and beautiful form to deliver such great content~hugs~ bravoooo
