Tell Me, Dear Poet Tell me, dear poet, what you're dreaming of Is it the beauty and power of love Is it the moonlight or is it a star Or is it the passion you feel in your heart My friend, you have only to read poetry To know what the poet is trying to see Just read a few verses, you'll know from the start Whether or not he has love in his heart Tell me, dear poet what you're thinking of Is it a woman you hope is in love Why are your verses filled with her grace Your words well defining the shape of her face Dear friend, you have opened the key to my soul And exposed the most private and intimate goal This love is a secret, not meant to be seen For she's but a lovely impossible dream But poet, 'tis written so clear on the page Your love will be known now for all future age Dear poet. 'twas you all the words did impart For you think with your mind, but you write with your heart Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-05-2000).] |

It is very hard not to write from the heart...I belive we poets expose ourselves probably more than anyone else in our works. Nice poem Liz  |

Sometimes we reveal more Than we might have wished Our work may look like rhyming words But in writing them we've dished Out a part of our soul Onto each poetic plate What matters to us shows Who we love, what we hate. Our words can stab hearts Or find a new friend. Poets think they are private folk - It's simply pretend. I love your poem, Elizabeth! [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 02-05-2000).] |

My friend, What a bountiful fountain of love you are, bubbling with such delightful verse. I feel the magnitude of the poet's words, speaking to my heart. Softly wending their way, from you they depart. Gentle, loving phrases, forged in indelible ink. I am so thankful for poetry that causes me think. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Denise, I didn't know where this poem was going, as I wrote it as I was posting. Thanks so much Chris, Just write and you will find it Thank You! Serenity, You are the one who humbles me. Such kind words. Thanks Hoot, Yes, most often we say more than we think we do. Thank you Suthern, Interesting little poem you write here. Good point. We do think we're private people and yet expose our hearts and souls to the world. I can assure you that Toe's poem was from the heart, because it was written as fast as I could type. I sure do like that man. BSC, Thank you, You honor me Sy, you are a poet of many dreams And write all your dreams in your verses it seems Keep writing and dreaming up to the sky And you will soon see that you're learning to fly Love ya Liz jascanvey, Thank you, If a poet keeps your poem, that is surely the highest compliment Thank you James, You are so sweet Thanks Thank you all Liz |

Standing ovation Wow The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

What a wonderful poem Liz. I loved the last line which says it all, "you think with your mind, but you write with your hear". |
