Some people write in cryptic code and force you to decipher some tell you just the way it is as seen through their perspective Some weave a morning out of words soft syllables and shadings Some are hopeless romantic souls caught up in endless dreaming Some write with images of stone and some with wistful musings some want to tell you of their life and some just of their day The poets sit with pens in hands on paper mind and ink will meet upon your memory leave their brand and hope their thoughts your mind will greet Unchained their thoughts will now unreel must capture them within the ink their aim is but to make you feel all asked is that you stop and think |

'their aim is but to make you feel all asked is that you stop and think' When the writer makes the reader 'feel' the pulse, the heartbeat... that's the most magical moment in sharing one's poetry. |

Yo Critical mass, This is a nice poem, however, in the line: “Unchained their thoughts will now unreal” I think you may mean: “Unchained their thoughts will now unreel” That would be better. Bobby |

their aim is but to make you feel all asked is that you stop and think For all the different styles, the goal is the same. *S* So very true... I love this! *S* |

Yes, loved this. Especially this part. The poets sit with pens in hands on paper mind and ink will meet upon your memory leave their brand and hope their thoughts your mind will greet |

criticalmass - Thanks for your peek into the motivations of the poetic quest. We are the windows others look into searching for Love, Honor, Despair, Duty etc. and it's best that we stock up on Windex so there's no question of the clarity that makes them...."stop and think". Thanks CM for your insight and delivery. Enjoyed this. Namyh |
