~Admiration of Inspiration~ Might I linger in the moody mysteries of your mind May I gaze into your intensity until I willingly go blind For then I would read your thoughts with infusing fingertips Tracing the unturned pages of your profound poetic scripts To explore the caliginous corners of your intellect's core To dwell in your dark spaces, the places never seen before Drawn to your shades of gray, illuminated with my fascination Intrigued by your mind at play, captivation illustrated with admiration Might I view the world through your mind's eye of perception Witness the moment of your inspiration's sagacious conception Leaf through the memories pressed between pages of your recall Read between your lines, for your every verse and rhyme enthrall To delve into your persuasion's philosophies Sating and saturating my ever insatiable curiosities To define and detail the genius of your poetic stroke To inhale the essence of emotion your words invoke To drown in your sultry still waters running deep Immerse me in the release of your sensual silent keep To discover the secrets that lie behind your champagne eyes Intoxicated by your intentions, I remain mesmerized, hypnotized To then grant you the vision ... to accept these gifts you possess This my poetic confess ... your every express leaves a lasting impress Janet Marie "oh you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes my body aches to breathe your breath your words keep me alive" ~Sarah McLachlan~ [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 08-27-2001).] |

Oh my..you have managed to inspire what you actually wrote about...a piece of art here. And you? Sometimes I wonder, if you are not so busy adoring the works of others, that you forget to read your own. If you didn't have a memory like a claw trap? I would send you your own poetry, under a different name, just to see you praise yourself. You just wrote about yourself. We love you, Jan. |

"To explore the caliginous corners of your intellect's core To dwell in your dark spaces, the places never seen before Drawn to your shades of gray, illuminated with my fascination Intrigued by your mind at play, captivation illustrated with admiration" This verse stuck with me because of the many planes of inspiration that it crossed. You've got that good old muse really working in this one......excellent all the way through Janet! You are such an inspired poet Janet and such an inspiration to others and I for one have always appreciated your fine soulful talent. The soul part always shows up and takes your work to another level.....It's VANtastic! You might know that I'd write that.. he he Write on poet princess...write on!! Come, for the night is cold, The ghostly moonlight fills Hollow and rift and fold Of the erie Ardise hills! The windows of my room Are dark with bitter frost, The stillness aches with doom Of something loved and lost. Outside, the great blue star Burns in the ghostland pale, Where giant Algebar Hold on the endless trail. Come, for the years are long, And silence keeps the door, Where shapes with the shadows throng The firelit chamber floor. Come. for thy kiss was warm, With the red embers glare Across thy folding arm And dark tumultuous hair! The curtains seem to part; A sound is on the stair, As if at last...I start; Only the wind is there. Lo, now far on the hills The crimson fumes uncurled, Where the cauldron mantles and spills Another dawn on the world! Written by Bliss Carman (1861 - 1929) a renowned Canadian author from my home town....Fredericton, New Brunswick This poet is a great inspiration to me. |

This is a fantastic example of why I admire you! In your seldomness, you save that which transpires across the page from the deepest well of your heart. Sort of like revealing a beautiful trinket of pure gold. A keepsake that you have no idea how priceless it is. Sincerely, Regina |

To delve into your persuasion's philosophies Sating and saturating my ever insatiable curiosities To define and detail the genius of your poetic stroke To inhale the essence of emotion your words invoke ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have written the essence of reading in a most artful way. Inspiration at it's best. Great job! Deb |

Look at you write. Good gosh, so your muse takes a hike and then comes back with this... what I saw in this is that you got your muse back, she'd been visiting, I see, and brought with her the discourse of many, many minds.... well done Moth-Girl.... |

Woooooow....Janet Marie this is awesome! It trickles off my tongue so nicely and it's full of that rhyme devine you're always talking about  I am in admiration of your inspiration sweet poetess. I'm going to keep this and savour it again later! Hugs, ~Krista  P.S. I love Sarah McLachlan's music "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

You really got me with those caliginous corners. What a beautiful presentation of the power of words, bringing sunken treasures of hidden thoughts to the surface again. I am spellbound by this one. |

I can't pick one line on this one sorry! The whole poem is fantastic. By the way, I read what you read, and you "really" read! You take the time to understand, read, and respond in such a way one know's that you "read it"! I hope I made sense just now, I am a "tad" excited! This was a phenominal piece of writing JM, but that does not surprise me in the least.~*If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all*~ |

To delve into your persuasion's philosophies Sating and saturating my ever insatiable curiosities To define and detail the genius of your poetic stroke To inhale the essence of emotion your words invoke It sounds like you have a percious piece of poetry and in turn you have created your own masterpiece. This is the magicof poetry, but of course butterfly poet poetry from you can not be anything but magical "the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it has overturned |

You've captured the lure of poetry so well. For though I'm rarely inspired to quit reading and start writing, I can't read without being touched, without being altered in some way, without feeling better for my visit. This delicate tribute to your inspiration is beautifully written. |

I love when I get the chance to get on here to go back and read your work JM, you never cease to amaze me. I wish I had the time to stay as dedicated as you so I would not get the rust I have at writing. I also read several of you other past poems today and they were excellent as well. There's a peace inside us all |
