The Soul of a Poet Mayhap it shall come to me, in lightest gay, the heart of a bard to induce my say, through tales of old, of other days, a recitation may come this way Perchance an elegy I shall write the loss of dear ones numerous my lament and grief, both day and night, ‘tho I shan't write o’er the loss of us To honor Theocritus I would pen an idyllic scene to suit the when that life was pure and fine of flair, and I would give it a pastoral air If to be a lyrist of lyre and pen would I gain your heart, and then would you sing fine songs with me and join in an absolute harmony Or in silence of a moment, to muse, and then to be so joyfully enthused by the promise of your words to bring a song to my heart, that we might sing Maybe for me the life of a trouvère and to pen with Parnassian flair thus how to capture one poet’s glance, to pen by chance an Elysian dance To seize the heart of one who would pen, the poet, the bard, a muse, to spend a night, a day, to master the write, this my wish, and my dream held tight For the soul of a poet, I would endure that the heart of a soul I would ensure 04.04.01 |

Yes, RosePetal, I thought the last two lines said it all, too, but sometimes we have to get through the weeds to find the Rose... And thank you Nancy, for being such an awesome reader!... Noah, I think one of the kindest ways to reply, is to pick out the favorite lines you've found in a poem, and to share them back...thank you! Magnus, you bare your soul quite well, and in doing so, become very human, and very much a poet of note... Gen[Dave]Xer...mastered the write? Not yet, but working on it! You're kind to say so...keep watching! I might surprise you one day, and really knock your socks off... 'Deer, a compliment like that from you means much...but I know I have a way to go yet... Mysteria, you've stuck that "crown" on my head so tightly I fear my braids won't let loose...LOL...where WERE you in my childhood!? [I think there's another poem in there...] thank you, my dear, for being such a kind and generous friend... Duncan, indeed, there is a price...thank you!... Wanda, how nice of you to say so. I hope you enjoy your forays into our Passionate Blue pages... Thank you Cat...you've been writing some pretty awesome stuff yourself, recently... Interloper, the land of the green will call again, I feel some Celtic on the breeze... Martie, since you ARE my muse, you can see her ANYTIME!... Nan...see what you've taught me? The whole poem may suck saltwater, but if you have one couplet that sinks the ship, use it! Hugs... Hoot, and just think, I've never even BEEN to Texas! Thank you dear...you've been missed...so good to have you back!... Startime, I think some days this heart will explode with the poetry that wants out...thank you for acknowledging that...and thank you all for reading! |
