Our Constitution Of Writes From the heart, ventriloquists speak through our quills of treasured thought in the soul's quiet palace. Writing! we confirm necessities, forgiveness, repairing despair, lessons from straw to sticks to bricks. In reality we're forced to accept the mediating truth of, seeing is believing, yet, deep inside, body and muse, we expose offered up sacrifices, and vinous with fermented ink, we share resurrection. Like scribes, we pen journals as ventriloquists of legends, our quantum roles, reminders that, with each stroke, a language of light becomes our seduction in new order. In the end, it becomes our constitution of writes! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

 BRAVO!!! Oh Eric, this is wonderful, sweet friend, yes, we all possess our own drafts of a constitution that constitutes our hearts intentions, emotions, and reasons, and what contradicts the words we quill is put to court where we either amend or condemn what is unfair or deragatory! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

ETHome~ You know what ? I LOVE the thought of the 'ventriloquist' voice of a poet~ I know from experience that those muses of mine continually 'throw' thoughts in my inkwell~ Very special is this piece~ *HUGS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Enjoyed this very much, ethome!!! My two favorite passages and I think most interesting ideas/statements, too: we expose offered up sacrifices, and vinous with fermented ink, we share resurrection. with each stroke, a language of light becomes our seduction in new order. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

No PDV that was just me rubbing your back! He he had to get that in there. Thanks for the kind words. Tracie I appreciate the enthusiastic reply thank you so much! Marge...isn't the truth?....We are like ventriloquists rearranging and repeating wonderful visions through words of beauty...Thanks Marge!

Some very thought provoking lines in there my friend and of course, when it comes to you, I now EXPECT that. Hope that doesn't put you on the spot, but it is one of the reasons that I enjoy reading your works. Your verbage in this piece is wonderful and the phrasing gives power to your lines and thoughts. Wonderfully constructed and very well phrased. BTW ... nice to see you have managed to pass some of your talent on to a new generation to keep the seeds of thought rolling on. |

My praise would not be enough to do your words justice! I thank you for them and confirming my need to type it out and speak freely without recourse. You're a fine poet in every sense of the word ethome~ |

Just had to come back with this inspire by your pen. A bill of writes that bears the cost To reach the halt the sad the lost That lifts up spirits in aspire And warms the darkened heart with fire It is a blessing and a charm Can sanctify and whisper warm Yet the poet pays in price To write a world not always nice To paint the world as we see fit That in sorrow needs this writ Poets write to seize the day Tell the stories we must say Bleed the ink unto the page Find a way to quell the rage For poets write there is a cost Thus bill of writes is poet glossed In calmer moments try for peace But always searching words release The bill is high yet poets rite Keep them penning through the night. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
