As a Poet

to stir myriad feelings
daubing colors before you,
as a poet might do, this feat,
with a simple, solitary line
of words
to be heard
if I could
to set thoughts reeling
such as a poet should

O, I would

to splay forth before you
a peacock's feather
by spill of quill
to draw your eye
to the eye of plume
illumined in green of blue
if I could
to set feelings pealing
such as a poet should

O, I would

to cause your eye to seek
new thoughts
and nod your mind as a buttercup
bobs on a spring day
as words should cast
your spirits to fly
if I could
to breathe beneath your wing
such as a poet should

O, I would

to set before you
a state of emotion
so that next you glance 'pon
the ocean
you should feel the crashing waves
taste yet the salt that saves
if I could sail you thus away
such as a poet should

oh I would

to feed you all that you
might desire
cause a craving beset by fires
cause you internally to crave a need
cast before you
pearls of seed
if I could
gift you all this
such as a poet should

O, I would

but mostly, I would set
you to loving,
craving, needing
the word of the poet
the song that he wrote
by way of placing word to note
to cast such feeling
in what I wrote
if I could…

O, I would
O, I would

Kari love, this is truly wonderful, and you do it so beautifully too love, your really do. Utterly perfectly written love, as another rainbow shoots overhead.
Take care

never doubt that you do me dear ...
for you do it with grace ... poetic grace


Poetry is not an opinion expressed ...
It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound ...
or a smiling mouth.

Today - I've read - what? 4 Karilea poems - each unique, each dazzling and I'm at a total loss to rate which I like better - but this must be near the top!

Yes !  That's just how it should be.
Wonderfully expressed.

Karilea--You are a feather so light, blue and green...whatever color you choose, you use..and you do it, so you...that's what makes it so full of poetic grace.
