Grab your pen
from the stars
call your muse
from afar
steal some time
where you are
write some poetry.

Carve your heart
on a breeze
and you'll laugh
while you're free
long or short verses please
write some poetry.

At your desk on the net
with your keys ready set
sing the songs you like best
while you're blessed
by the best
you can be.

From your quill
from your heart
write the words that you are
turn hatred to trust
break your heart if you must
share your tears only just
write some poetry.

You'll glow in the gloom
like a harvest full moon
shining life in a room
and I can tell
you'll get well
write some poetry.

You got taste
you got spunk
you got words
for everyone
In a dream or in truth
full of love or just blue
any way that you choose
write some poetry.


I had to write a poem about one of my favourites. She was one of the first poets I met at Passions and has been a great source of inspiration to me.
Have a Vantastic day JM!!

ethome, You have captured Janet Marie's spirit. Now if we could only bottle it up and pass it around, the whole world would glow in the essence of her enthusiasm and inspiration. She is to me a great inspiration to keep going in times of trouble. I owe many of my poems to her. And your tribute is Janet Marie,
Good job!

My dear sweet E, baby...
I wish you could see the smile you have put on my face
and in my heart on this Sunday morn.
I do so adore you for this...
you know how much the gift of poetry means to me...
and this one is so special as it tells me
you know me well...
and you know me from my poetry...
the window on our souls....
thank you so much for allowing me to inspire you...
YOU KNOW  how I feel about your amazing poetry...
and your friendship has come to mean just as much....
thank you SO MUCH for this sweet tribute and gesture...
most of all thank you for touching me so deeply....
thank you also to my fellow poets whose generous comments here...
brought tears and smiles to my face.
I love you all here.
thank you ELT

Van the Man..for Ethome...
your poem for me....gives me a brand new day
in which to find inspiration..
thank you my special friend ...


~Brand New Day~
Van Morrison

When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine
I see my freedom from across the way
And it comes right in on time
Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love
Chorus:
And it seems like and it feels like
And it seems like yes it feels like
A brand new day, yeah
A brand new day oh

I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
I've been used, abused and so confused
And I had nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun

Chorus

And the sun shines down all on the ground
Yeah and the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and I've got the will
And I don't really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
0 here it comes right now
And it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind



There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Serenity thanks sweetheart for dropping in to make those fine comments I know how close you are to Janet.

I was hoping to hear from you Janet. I know you can see how most agree with me on this and I thought it would be fitting to say some nice words about you as you are always so kind to others.

How about... you grabbed my attention from afar with your opening lines... "Grab your pen from the stars call your muse from afar"  I downright had fun reading this.
