The Whimsey of My Thoughts


        

I am a poet
at least I try the art

seeds of illusion
scattered by winds of emotion
germinate in neurons, grey

insights grow from the roots of my soul...
made fertile with musing

blossoming into wordflowers...
their looped petals of painted passion
adorned by metaphor and simile
display fanciful garlands of verse

the colorful whimsey of my thoughts

Thank you...Thank you...Thank you so much, Marge...I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It just occurred to me that you are the very first person who has ever given me an award of any kind....
All of my life I have always just missed getting awards....
So, I would like to thank you very much for this one...

Thank you Sandra...
Sorry, but I didn't paint this one...but the reason I was drawn to it was that it does look a lot like what I paint....except its much much better....
I haven't painted in so long now, that I'm not even sure what I could even manage in a painting or a drawing....
So, I guess there is no excess of talent here.....so sorry!

Thanks so much Paul...and I am happy that you have joined our family here.
This is wonderful group of poets, and I know that in the 6 months I have been here, I have learned more about poetry, than I ever have before....and I have been writing since age 6.
I hope you will love it here as much as I do.

~ hugs of welcome
