Poetry lives to
Beg your skill
While a picture lasts
A newspapers headlines
Describing your words for life

Then reason why
A gifted poet
Could enlightened the world
With visions
A child could read

To dance words on rain on a window pane
Echoing captivity
Eased by vision
To understand
Movement, flow, subjection, escape

For the world’s loss
For your words
To be remembered
Decorating a tapestry of images
With vision everlasting

As you write

Liked this very much Dave.
Almost analytical in presentation, yet the art is radiant in form and content.
You done good.

You said it so well.  I feel as though I escape into another world when I write and I love that feeling.  Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Take care.......Sue

Thanks TD

It was meant in a way to surgical but to capture just one way to look at something

Your writing escapes a lot of people into another world when you write

The world is made of what we see and clarity and honesty are often in very short supply

Thanks Shadows

Somehow I kept something that I wrote from kid days and the feeling was to escape from boredom but the rains came down and there was no-where to escape to.

I hope kids have better opportunities.

Thanks Lee

I suppose I am not really interested in puting the gloss around when the raw words seem to want to write.

It seems almost hypocrisy to dress up something that isn't.

At one point I thought poetry was everything you wanted to do and it didn't matter what you did as "when everything was gone, someone would find a wall, and a message".

Deep down I still feel that everyone has the right to be poetic as they wish but whilst I dont want them talk forms as a way of life, we'll fail because we now talk statistics and a drop out rate without understanding why they drop out.

I raised with LeeJ that she might be a parallel thinker but with the current political structures we actually had an English Cabinet Minister telling us that if we dont agree with what Blair is doing on Gambling Casinos we are being un-American.

Would you ever hear those words in your country.

I never knowingly hurt anyone or anything.

I avoid the vexatious and I do walk away rather my lose my temper but that is because we seem to have a world in which it has become the habit to attack those who don't do what they are told, or who refuse to agree with you.

Many thanks
