The Poet The Poet, as master of creation, sculpts with words from ideation. A poetic human Lens under Sun who must concentrate its rays and in bold exquisite ways tug the Heart and pluck its strings, one by one. In a foxhole, words of Courage, out in Space, words of Hope, on a deathbed, poet's words to feel alive are the jewels within a chest from the heart and head and breast of a poet's driven quest to pen the scribe. And even when 'no inspiration' is the poet's root frustration and no wind to make a flag of words unfurl, Time will tilt the Lens to daylight bending words to pinpoint insight and one breath will hurl that scribe across the world. So embrace the Poet's mission, as you write with proud submission to this self imposed commission that occurs. So that when you speak of Beauty, Love and Death, Truth and Duty, you'll make Shakespeare smile with tears and lose his words. Namyh |

A truly moving, and inspiring piece. Goddess grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. |

Well Namyh, you've certainly told it like it is in this insightful piece. Some nice turns of phrase herein. Enjoyed it very much. Sutra 25: Remember that a pile of ordure is simply that: Seek not to give it meaning. |

This is a sharp "analysis" of the Poets' work. Insightful and endearing. Love, Margherita |

Splendid writing, and I LOVE the premise that the quality of the poem should do the subject justice. Tbear |

Tbear – To have a premise, to ensure quality and to do the subject justice is a tough job. But somebody’s got to do it and I guess we poets just love the burden. Thanks Tbear for your splendid enjoyment. Namyh |

Linda – Not only am I elated that you found this especially appealing. But I’m totally honored to be safely tucked in a treasure trove by a fan. It’s a warm experience and I thank you very much for it. It could only have been granted by an angel of Earth who makes Shakespeare lose his words. Namyh P.S. – Somebody get me a Kleenex. Make it two. Oh, gimme the box. LOL |
